e2image
Save critical ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem metadata to a file. More information: https://manned.org/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}}
- Create a QCOW2 image file instead of a normal or raw image file:
e2image -Q {{/dev/sdXN}} {{path/to/image_file}}
