NAME

e2mkdir − creates a directory on an ext2 filesystem

SYNOPSIS

e2mkdir [options] directory...

DESCRIPTION

The e2mkdir command creates directories on an ext2 filesystem. It behaves similar to ‘mkdir -p’.

OPTIONS

	−G gid		Set the default group to gid.
	−O uid		Set the default file owner to uid.

−P mode

Set the file permissions (ie 755, 666).

−v

Be verbose.

Note

This program expects to have a full ext2 file specification for each argument.

EXAMPLES

This creates the directory ‘/boot/grub‘ with on ‘boot.img‘ with the current user and group ids:

e2mkdir boot.img:/boot/grub

To override the default ownership and permissions:

e2mkdir −O 100 −P 700 /dev/hdb1:/data/backup
