NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       dumpe2fs - dump filesystem information

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       dumpe2fs [ -bfhixV ] [ -ob superblock ] [ -oB blocksize ] device

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       dumpe2fs  prints  the  super block and blocks group information for the
       filesystem present on device.

       dumpe2fs is similar to Berkeley's dumpfs program for the BSD Fast  File
       System.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       -b     print the blocks which are reserved as bad in the filesystem.

       -ob superblock
	      use  the	block  superblock when examining the filesystem.  This
	      option is not usually needed except by a filesystem  wizard  who
	      is examining the remains of a very badly corupted filesystem.

       -oB blocksize
	      use  blocks  of  blocksize  bytes when examining the filesystem.
	      This option is not usually needed except by a filesystem	wizard
	      who  is  examining the remains of a very badly corupted filesystem.


       -f     force dumpe2fs to display a filesystem even though it  may  have
	      some  filesystem feature flags which dumpe2fs may not understand
	      (and which can cause some of dumpe2fs's display to be  suspect).

       -h     only display the superblock information and not any of the block
	      group descriptor detail information.

       -i     display the filesystem  data  from  an  image  file  created  by
	      e2image, using device as the pathname to the image file.

       -x     print  the detailed group information block numbers in hexadecimal
 format

       -V     print the version number of dumpe2fs and exit.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

       You need to know the physical filesystem structure  to  understand  the
       output.
