No. Stephen was referring to the logdump command available from e2fsprog's debugfs program. Like so:
Don't hit me, but i tried dumb thing: # sync # perl -e 'print "B"x4000;' # sync # debugfs -R 'logdump -ac /tmp/output' /dev/hda6 # vi /tmp/output But i didn't find any patterns which look like four thousand equal characters. I guess, data will be encoded bevor written to disk. Why? How it is done? Maybe anyone can tell me quickly, how data is handled (encoded etc.) before written to disk (i know this doesn't circumvent taking a good book about filesystems/ext2 some day...) bye _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
