SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       fsdb  is  a file system debugger that allows for the manual repair of a
14       file system after a crash.   special is a special device  used to indi‐
15       cate  the  file system to be debugged. fsdb is intended for experienced
16       users only. FSType is the file system type to be debugged.  Since  dif‐
17       ferent  FSTypes have different structures and hence different debugging
18       capabilities, the manual pages for the FSType-specific fsdb  should  be
19       consulted  for  a  more detailed description of the debugging capabili‐
20       ties.
21

OPTIONS

23       -F    Specify the  FSType on which  to  operate.   The   FSType  should
24             either  be specified here or be determinable from  /etc/vfstab by
25             matching the  special with an entry in the table, or by  consult‐
26             ing /etc/default/fs.
27
28
29       -V    Echo  the  complete command line, but do not execute the command.
30             The command line is generated by using the options and  arguments
31             provided  by the user and adding to them information derived from
32             /etc/vfstab. This option may be used to verify and  validate  the
33             command line.
34
35
36       -o    Specify  FSType-specific options.
