     ls -l $dirname
done > outputfile

Change the 20 (blocks) to whatever size suits you.

e2ls

E2LS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   E2LS(1)

NAME

       e2ls - list files and directories on an ext2 filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       e2ls [options] file_specification

DESCRIPTION

       The e2ls command is used to list files and directories on an ext2 filesystem.

       Note: Files deleted via e2rm sometimes will show up even without the -D option. It is being investigated.

OPTIONS

       -a     Show hidden directories.

       -c     Sort by creation time (must include -t when using -l).

       -d dir Open the ext2 filesystem specified by dir.

       -D     Show deleted files bracketed with ><.

       -f     No sorting of the file list.

       -i     Show the inodes (very useful for the -l option).

       -l     Long listing.

       -r     Reverse the sort order.

       -t     Sort by time.

SEE ALSO

       e2tools(7), e2ln(1), e2mv(1), e2mkdir(1), e2cp(1), e2rm(1), e2tail(1).

AUTHOR

       The e2tools were written by Keith Sheffield <sheff@pobox.com>.

       This manual page was written by Lucas Wall <lwall@debian.org>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
