E2MKDIR

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’.

-O uid

Set the default file owner to uid.

-P mode

Set the file permissions (ie 755, 666).

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:
