Save critical ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem metadata to a file. More information: <https://manned.org/e2image>.

  • Write metadata located on device to a specific file:
    e2image /dev/sdXN path/to/image_file
  • Print metadata located on device to `stdout`:
    e2image /dev/sdXN -
  • Restore the filesystem metadata back to the device:
    e2image -I /dev/sdXN path/to/image_file
  • Create a large raw sparse file with metadata at proper offsets:
    e2image -r /dev/sdXN path/to/image_file
  • Create a QCOW2 image file instead of a normal or raw image file:
    e2image -Q /dev/sdXN path/to/image_file
