Can I extract only parts? for the sake of correctness, man 8 e2image tells us: This [the command above] will only send the metadata information, without any data blocks. However, the filenames in the directory blocks can still reveal information about the contents of the filesystem that the bug reporter may wish to keep confidential. To address this concern, the - -s option can be specified. This will cause e2image to scramble directory entries and zero out any unused portions of the directory blocks before writing them to the image file. being curious about e2image by myself i just had to test it on a loop-aes mounted 4GB ext3 partition, the product is a 6,2MB loop6.img.gz...
