<note><para>Some host distributions use custom features in their filesystem
creation tools (e2fsprogs). This can cause problems when booting into your new
LFS in Chapter 9, as those features will not be supported by the LFS-installed
e2fsprogs; you will get an error similar to <quote>unsupported filesystem
features, upgrade your e2fsprogs</quote>. To check if your host system
uses custom enhancements, run the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput>debugfs -R feature /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>If the output contains features other than: dir_index; filetype;
large_file; resize_inode or sparse_super then your host system may have custom
enhancements. In that case, to avoid later problems, you should compile the
stock e2fsprogs package and use the resulting binaries to re-create the
filesystem on your LFS partition:</para>
<screen><userinput>cd /tmp
tar xjf /path/to/sources/e2fsprogs-1.36.tar.bz2
cd e2fsprogs-1.36
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make #note that we intentionally don't 'make install' here!
./misc/mke2fs /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable>
cd /tmp
rm -rf e2fsprogs-1.36</userinput></screen>

with <command>mke2fs</command>) by running the following. If you are using an existing
