How can I determine the block group size of my filesystem, in case I would like to determine where my backup superblocks are? Or how can I determine the location of my backup superblock?

Hello,
in one default UFS filesystem we have 8K block size (bsize) and 1K fragmentsize (fsize). At this scenary I thought all "FileSytem IO" will be 8K (or greater) but never smaller than the fragment size (1K). If a UFS fragment/blocksize is allwasy several ADJACENTS sectors on disk (in a ... (4 Replies)

dumpe2fs
DUMPE2FS(8) System Manager's Manual DUMPE2FS(8)
NAME
dumpe2fs - dump ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem information
SYNOPSIS
dumpe2fs [ -bfghixV ] [ -o superblock=superblock ] [ -o blocksize=blocksize ] device
DESCRIPTION
dumpe2fs prints the super block and blocks group information for the filesystem present on device.
Note: When used with a mounted filesystem, the printed information may be old or inconsistent.
OPTIONS
-b print the blocks which are reserved as bad in the filesystem.
-o superblock=superblock
use the block superblock when examining the filesystem. This option is not usually needed except by a filesystem wizard who is
examining the remains of a very badly corrupted filesystem.
-o blocksize=blocksize
use blocks of blocksize bytes when examining the filesystem. This option is not usually needed except by a filesystem wizard who is
examining the remains of a very badly corrupted filesystem.
-f force dumpe2fs to display a filesystem even though it may have some filesystem feature flags which dumpe2fs may not understand (and
which can cause some of dumpe2fs's display to be suspect).
-g display the group descriptor information in a machine readable colon-separated value format. The fields displayed are the group
number; the number of the first block in the group; the superblock location (or -1 if not present); the range of blocks used by the
group descriptors (or -1 if not present); the block bitmap location; the inode bitmap location; and the range of blocks used by the
inode table.
-h only display the superblock information and not any of the block group descriptor detail information.
-i display the filesystem data from an image file created by e2image, using device as the pathname to the image file.
-x print the detailed group information block numbers in hexadecimal format
-V print the version number of dumpe2fs and exit.
BUGS
You need to know the physical filesystem structure to understand the output.
