Can`t get a newer version of e2fsck
by fredmyra from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6CGGQ)
Hi!
Today I installed Grub from Slackware on a multiboot external disk for the first time. I usually install grub from Artix in order to avoid problems in booting Artix from Debian based distros. I sure had many problems when I used Manjaro.
This time it was the case of a small external disk so I was pressed to keep just 2 of the distros I had, when I installed for the first time Ubuntu Studio as a test in order to try having an easier time with music software. I have installed Bob Aliens Daw in a Slackware before but there is a learning curve and I had hoped that in the meantime Ubuntu Studio might be a quicker substitution.
Unfortunately I never found an option in its installer to stop installation of bootloader and so Ubuntu took over my booting and ignored Artix, it never came up in its grub.cfg.
Slackware was identified and could be started with minor changes in the grub entry.
I then installed grub from Slackware and could start Ubuntu Studio, but not Artix. I copied Artix`s stanza from the `/boot` folder in the Artix partition and placed it into Slackware`s `/etc/grub/40_custom`. Did not boot either. Grub reports that Artix`s partition has an unknown filesystem.
Then I got the following results:
Code:root@lifebook2:~# fsck /dev/sdb6
fsck from util-linux 2.37.4
e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021)
/dev/sdb6 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12
e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!
Artix_Xfce: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********

No package name matches the pattern.

root@lifebook2:~#But both
Code:man fsckand
Code:man e2fsckprovide me with plenty information.
Search in sbopkg gives no match for fsck,e2fsck.
I can mount, open and manipulate the Artix partition and the many folders and files there, so I don`t get where the unknown filesystem message comes from.
Grub includes the Artix partition (hd0,gpt6) in the output for Code:ls /but the output for
Code:ls /(hd0,gpt6)is nothing, null
When trying to boot Artix grub gives the `unknown filesystem` message.
I am at total loss here.
How can I get a newer version of e2fsck?
Do I really need it ?
