Ted,
Just the other day, I installed e2fsprogs 1.29. The bottom of the man
page for fsck even says,
"E2fsprogs version 1.29 September 2002 FSCK(8)"
Well, the -D option is mentioned nowhere in the man page for it. As a
matter of fact, at the top of the page, the synopsis says:
fsck [ -sACVRTNP ] [ -t fstype ] [filesys ... ] [--] [
fs-specific-options ]
I'll see about installing e2fsprogs 1.30.
