Hi Gaurang,

Can you try with IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " e2fsprogs" and run once again "bitbake core-image-minimal" or whatever you are referring for your final target

The 'e2fsprogs' target adds libs, but not the executables.  I needed to add 'e2fsprogs-mke2fs' to get what I wanted.

regards,
Ben

Sorry for the spam.  Still learning how this works…

Turns out I needed 'e2fsprogs-mke2fs'
