NAME
ext2ed - ext2 file system editor
SYNOPSIS
ext2ed DESCRIPTION
ext2ed in an
editor for the
second extended filesystem. Its aim is to show you the various internal filesystem structures in an
intuitive form so that you would be able to easily understand and modify
them.
DOCUMENTATION
The documentation is not available in man page format. Instead, I have
written three articles which are related to ext2ed:
The first article is
The user's guide. This article explains how to use ext2ed.
The second article is
The Ext2fs overview. This article gives an overview of internal structure of the ext2 filesystem.
You need to understand the internal layout in order to effectively edit
your filesystem.
The third article is
EXT2ED - Design and implementation. This article explains how I constructed ext2ed. You may want to have a look
in it if you plan to view or modify the source code.
WARNING
Do not use ext2ed on a mounted filesystem.
