You have the right package, mke2fs is inside it: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
$ equery f sys-fs/e2fsprogs ... /sbin/mke2fs /sbin/mkfs.ext2 -> mke2fs |
| 16 |
/sbin/mkfs.ext3 -> mke2fs /sbin/mkfs.ext4 -> mke2fs |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Here man page is installed |
| 19 |
$ man mke2fs |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And which/whereis also: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
$ which mke2fs |
| 24 |
/sbin/mke2fs |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
$ whereis mke2fs |
| 27 |
mke2fs: /sbin/mke2fs /usr/share/man/man8/mke2fs.8.bz2 |
