DUMPFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 DUMPFS(8)

NAME

     dumpfs -- dump file system information

SYNOPSIS

     dumpfs [-acFijmsv] filesys | device [...]

DESCRIPTION

     dumpfs prints out detailed information about the specified filesystems.

     Options:

     -a      Print details from each alternate superblock.

     -c      Print details of each cylinder group.

     -F      Dump a file system image from a file, not a special device.

     -i      Print details of each allocated inode.

     -j      Print details of the WAPBL journal.

     -m      Print details of the cylinder group summary.

     -s      Print details of the superblock.

     -v      Be even more verbose.

     If none of -a, -c, -i, -j, -m, or -s are given, then dumpfs defaults to -cmsv.

     dumpfs is useful mostly for finding out certain file system information such as the file system block size, minimum free space percentage,
     and the file system level that can be upgraded with the -c option of fsck_ffs(8).	All of this information is output by dumpfs -s.

HISTORY

     The dumpfs command appeared in 4.2BSD.  The -a, -c, -i, -m, and -s options, and the inode dump were added for NetBSD 2.0.	The -j, option was
     added for NetBSD 6.0.

FFSINFO(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						FFSINFO(8)

NAME

     ffsinfo -- dump all meta information of an existing ufs file system

SYNOPSIS

     ffsinfo [-g cylinder_group] [-i inode] [-l level] [-o outfile] special | file

DESCRIPTION

     The ffsinfo utility extends the dumpfs(8) utility.

     The output is appended to the file outfile.  Also expect the output file to be rather large.  Up to 2 percent of the size of the specified
     file system is not uncommon.

     The following options are available:

     -g cylinder_group
	     This restricts the dump to information about this cylinder group only.  Here 0 means the first cylinder group and -1 the last one.

     -i inode
	     This restricts the dump to information about this particular inode only.  Here the minimum acceptable inode is 2.	If this option is
	     omitted but a cylinder group is defined then only inodes within that cylinder group are dumped.

     -l level
	     The level of detail which will be dumped.	This value defaults to 255 and is the ``bitwise or'' of the following table:

	     0x001   initial superblock
	     0x002   superblock copies in each cylinder group
	     0x004   cylinder group summary in initial cylinder group
	     0x008   cylinder group information
	     0x010   inode allocation bitmap
	     0x020   fragment allocation bitmap
	     0x040   cluster maps and summary
	     0x100   inode information
	     0x200   indirect block dump

     -o outfile
	     This sets the output filename where the dump is written to, and must be specified.  If - is provided, output will be sent to stdout.

EXAMPLES

	   ffsinfo -o /var/tmp/ffsinfo -l 1023 /dev/vinum/testvol

     will dump /dev/vinum/testvol to /var/tmp/ffsinfo with all available information.

HISTORY

     The ffsinfo utility first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4.

BUGS

     Snapshots are handled like plain files.  They should get their own level to provide for independent control of the amount of what gets
     dumped.  It probably also makes sense to some extend to dump the snapshot as a file system.
