DUMPE2FS(8)                 System Manager's Manual                DUMPE2FS(8)

NAME
       dumpe2fs - dump ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem information
SYNOPSIS
       dumpe2fs [ -bfhixV ] [ -o superblock=superblock ] [ -o blocksize=block-
       size ] device
DESCRIPTION
       dumpe2fs prints the super block and blocks group  information  for  the
       filesystem present on device.
       Note:  When used with a mounted filesystem, the printed information may
       be old or inconsistent.
OPTIONS
       -b     print the blocks which are reserved as bad in the filesystem.
       -o superblock=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 corrupted filesystem.
       -o blocksize=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 corrupted  filesys-
              tem.
       -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 hexadeci-
              mal format
       -V     print the version number of dumpe2fs and exit.
BUGS
       You need to know the physical filesystem structure  to  understand  the
       output.
