Description-en: statically-linked version of the ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem checker
This may be of some help to you if your filesystem gets corrupted enough
to break the shared libraries used by the dynamically linked checker.
.
This binary takes much more space than its dynamic counterpart located
in e2fsprogs, though.
.
You may want to install a statically-linked shell as well, to be able
to run this program if something like your C library gets corrupted.
