|
|
> Save critical ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem metadata to a file.
|
||
|
|
> More information: <https://linux.die.net/man/8/e2image>.

|
|

|
|
- Write metadata located on device to a specific file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`e2image {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Print metadata located on device to `stdout`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`e2image {{/dev/sdXN}} -`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Restore the filesystem metadata back to the device:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`e2image -I {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Create a large raw sparse file with metadata at proper offsets:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`e2image -r {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Ceate a QCOW2 image file instead of a normal or raw image file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`e2image -Q {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}`
