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
