[PATCH 1/4] e2image: add offset switches

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add -o and -O switches to specify the offset where the source
and destination filesystems start.  This is useful if you have
an image of a partitioned disk or wish to create one.

+.SH OFFSETS
+Normally a filesystem starts at the beginning of a partition, and
+.B e2image
+is run on the partition.  When working with image files, you don't
+have the option of using the partition device, so you can specify
+the offset where the filesystem starts directly with the
+.B \-o
+option.  Similarly the
+.B \-O
+option specifies the offset that should be seeked to in the destination
+before writing the filesystem.
+.PP
+For example, if you have a
+.B dd
+image of a whole hard drive that contains an ext2 fs in a partition
+starting at 1 MiB, you can clone that fs with:
+.PP
+.br
+\	\fBe2image \-aro 1048576 img /dev/sda1\fR
+.br
+.PP
+Or you can clone a fs into an image file, leaving room in the first
+MiB for a partition table with:

+.br
