DUMPFS(8)               NetBSD System Manager's Manual               DUMPFS(8)


NAME

     dumpfs - dump file system information


SYNOPSIS

     dumpfs [-F] filesys | device [...]


DESCRIPTION

     dumpfs prints out the super block and cylinder group information for the
     specified file systems or special devices, or if -F is used, file system
     images.  The listing is very long and detailed.

     dumpfs is useful mostly for finding out certain file system information
     such as the file system block size, minimum free space percentage, and
     the file system level that can be upgraded with the -c option of
     fsck_ffs(8).  All of this information can be found within the first twen-
     ty lines of the output.
