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.
