This tool creates ext2 filesystem images like "initrd" for non root users. It is useful for
everyone who usually created, formatted, loopback mounted, populated and unmounted a fileimage as root, but rather wanted to do this as non-root user.

Recommended Projects

genext2fs
genext2fs is a mean to generate an ext2 filesystem as a normal (non-root) user. It doesn't require you to mount the image file to copy files on it. It doesn't even require you to be the superuser to make device nodes.
wmudmount
A filesystem mounter that uses udisks to handle notification of new filesystems and mounting of the filesystems as a non-root user. It also includes a mode to display the mounted filesystems with the least free space percentage (similar to wmfsm).
XFDeb
The purpose of this project is to create a set of installation disks (rescue, root, drivers) of Linux Debian supporting the new powerful open source XFS filesystem by SGI. My idea is you can simply choose to create your partitions like an ext2 or an xfs
cpos-recovery
cpos makes a bootable backup copy of the currently mounted root partition, or a tar file copy of the root partition, to another partition defined in the configuration file. This allows the user to make quick periodic recoverable backups.
daemonize
An implementation of linux 'daemonize` command. Daemonizer runs the program as a linux daemon. During the daemonizing process: - All open file descriptors are closed - Program's working directory is changed to root in order to prevent filesystems from being unmounted - File creation mask is cleared - Parent process is killed and the daemon is branched directly to 'init' - File descriptors 0, 1, and 2 are attached to root - Process logs are directed to "syslog deamon"
