e2fsprogs install
Hello FreeBSDers, Just installed e2fsprogs from ports and it gave some instructions for vreating some links as follows: -- To have your ext2 and ext3 filesystems fsck'ed correctly without explicitly invoking the fsck_ext2fs utility installed by this port you will need to create links for the fsck utilities installed by this port in /sbin, e.g. ln -f /usr/local/sbin/fsck_ext2fs /sbin/ 2>/dev/null \ || install -m755 /usr/local/sbin/fsck_ext2fs /sbin/ ln -f /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck /sbin/e2fsck 2>/dev/null \ || install -m755 /usr/local/sbin/e2fsck /sbin/e2fsck IMPORTANT: you also need to repeat the above steps after a port upgrade! - I haven't done this yet as I am a little cinfused by the syntax. In particular, I assume that each of these two commands are meant to be entered as one line, and has been shown over two lines to fit on the page. I also assume that there is a symbol denoting that the command is continued on the next line. But which one? The "\" and the end of the first line, or the "|" at the beginning of the second line, or both? Can some one set me straight?
