What does the command dumpe2fs H do?
|
The "dumpe2fs" command is used to display information about ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems. dumpe2fs displays superblock and block group information for filesystems present on a device. Show
Syntax: dumpe2fs [ -bfhixV ] [ -o superblock=superblock ] [ -o blocksize=blocksize ] device 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 cor- rupted filesystem. -o blocksize=blocksize use blocks of blocksize bytes when examining the filesystem. This option is not usu- ally needed except by a filesystem wizard who is examining the remains of a very badly corrupted 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.dumpe2fs - Example Display Superblock information# dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1 dumpe2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011) Filesystem volume name: Last mounted on: / Filesystem UUID: 4daba06c-1d4d-4bbc-8f66-0a48cb20d0b4 Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize Filesystem flags: signed_directory_hash Default mount options: (none) Filesystem state: clean Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 9609216 Block count: 38419456 Reserved block count: 1920972 Free blocks: 11195030 Free inodes: 8480522 First block: 0 Block size: 4096 Fragment size: 4096 Reserved GDT blocks: 1014 Blocks per group: 32768 Fragments per group: 32768 Inodes per group: 8192 Inode blocks per group: 512 Flex block group size: 16 Filesystem created: Sat Oct 22 19:36:56 2011 Last mount time: Tue Jul 23 19:57:51 2013 Last write time: Wed Jul 17 12:06:55 2013 Mount count: 6 Maximum mount count: 35 Last checked: Wed Jul 17 12:06:55 2013 Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) Next check after: Mon Jan 13 11:06:55 2014 Lifetime writes: 605 GB Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 256 Required extra isize: 28 Desired extra isize: 28 Journal inode: 8 First orphan inode: 6553671 Default directory hash: half_md4 Directory Hash Seed: 0206aa9d-9545-4e90-886e-d76a5511ebc7 Journal backup: inode blocks Journal features: journal_incompat_revoke Journal size: 128M Journal length: 32768 Journal sequence: 0x00242dd8 Journal start: 23267 Section: Maintenance Commands (8) NAMEdumpe2fs - dump ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem information SYNOPSISdumpe2fs [ -bfhixV ] [ -o superblock=superblock ] [ -o blocksize=blocksize ] device DESCRIPTIONdumpe2fs prints the super block and blocks group information for the filesystem present on device.
