dumpe2fs is the filesystem super block information for the ext4 file system

dumpe2fs : dump ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem information

Examples:
- To dump the file system information about a device

 

# dumpe2fs /dev/sda1


- To print the blocks which are reserved as bad in the filesystem


# dumpe2fs -b /dev/sda2



- To use  the block superblock when examining the filesystem

 

# dumpe2fs -o superblock=superblock /dev/sda1



- To use blocks of blocksize bytes when examining the filesystem.

 

# dumpe2fs -o blocksize=blocksize /dev/sda1


- To force dumpe2fs to display a filesystem



# dumpe2fs -f /dev/sda1


- To only display the superblock information

# dumpe2fs -h


- To display the filesystem data from an image file created by e2image

                  # dumpe2fs -i

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

                  # dumpe2fs -x

- To get the version info

# dumpe2fs -V
