dumpe2fs: Display ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystem information.
$ dumpe2fs ${-dev-sdXN}
try on your machine
This command is used to dump/extact information about the ext2, ext3, or ext4 file systems. Here's how the command is structured:
dumpe2fsis the command itself.${-dev-sdXN}is a placeholder for the device name and partition number of the file system you want to examine.
In practice, you would replace ${-dev-sdXN} with the actual device name and partition number, such as /dev/sda1.
For example, if you want to extract information about the file system on /dev/sda1, you would use dumpe2fs /dev/sda1.
This command will provide detailed information about the specific file system, including the block count, block size, inode count, and various other attributes.
