https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203943 --- Comment #6 from Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) --- That's because the German translation is busted. I've complained to the German maintainer of the e2fsprogs messages file at the Translation Project, but it hasn't been fixed yet. See [1] for more details. [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892173#10 It *should* have actually printed the inode number, and it does if you just use the built-in English text. In general, I *really* wish people would disable the use of the translation when reporting bugs, because very often the use of the translations add noise that make life harder for developers, and in this case, it was losing information for you, the system administrator. See the debugfs man page for more details, but to specify inode numbers to debugfs, you need to surround the inode number with angle brackets. Here are some examples: % debugfs /tmp/test.img debugfs 1.45.2 (27-May-2019) debugfs: ls a 12 (12) . 2 (12) .. 13 (988) motd debugfs: stat /a/motd Inode: 13 Type: regular Mode: 0644 Flags: 0x80000 Generation: 0 Version: 0x00000000 User: 0 Group: 0 Size: 286 File ACL: 0 Links: 1 Blockcount: 2 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x5d0d416e -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:26 2019 atime: 0x5d0d416e -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:26 2019 mtime: 0x5d0d416e -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:26 2019 Inode checksum: 0x0000857d EXTENTS: (0):20 debugfs: stat <13> Inode: 13 Type: regular Mode: 0644 Flags: 0x80000 Generation: 0 Version: 0x00000000 User: 0 Group: 0 Size: 286 File ACL: 0 Links: 1 Blockcount: 2 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x5d0d416e -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:26 2019 atime: 0x5d0d416e -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:26 2019 mtime: 0x5d0d416e -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:26 2019 Inode checksum: 0x0000857d EXTENTS: (0):20 debugfs: ncheck 13 Inode Pathname 13 /a/motd debugfs: stat a Inode: 12 Type: directory Mode: 0755 Flags: 0x80000 Generation: 0 Version: 0x00000000 User: 0 Group: 0 Size: 1024 File ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x5d0d416b -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:23 2019 atime: 0x5d0d416b -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:23 2019 mtime: 0x5d0d416b -- Fri Jun 21 16:43:23 2019 Inode checksum: 0x000042d4 EXTENTS: (0):18 debugfs: block_dump 18 0000 0c00 0000 0c00 0102 2e00 0000 0200 0000 ................ 0020 0c00 0202 2e2e 0000 0d00 0000 dc03 0401 ................ 0040 6d6f 7464 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 motd............ 0060 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ * 1760 0000 0000 0000 0000 0c00 00de be4e 16e9 .............N.. debugfs: -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
