I remember that in MsDos times we had utilities that did backups of the directory structure in files placed strategically on the disks. Perhaps we should do the same now :-?
e2image will create image of superblock, block group descriptor, block and inode allocation bitmaps, and the inode table that can be stored elsewhere.
But e2fsck can not use it - so says the man page.
File system itself will store superblock every 8k blocks, so it is not that easy to break it as DOS with 2 FAT tables.
Yes, but what is lost are the directory names of all directories, or all rootlevel directories. That's what I have seen destroyed completely on several filesystems. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
