[SOLVED] Find blocks of an inode

alephan · 01-28-2011, 04:19 AM

I cand see the inode number of a file by running
ls -i <file>

How can i see the blocks where this inode points to? I'm talking about a yaffs2 partition.

Hi -

There's seldom (if ever?) a need to poke through a filesystem at the block level.

But - Linux being Linux - if you can conceive of it, there's probably a way to do it

Try looking up "debugfs". It may (or may not) be what you're looking for.

Linux as being linux, has the unbeatable advantage to know that there's always an answer. You just have to dig for it.

Debugfs outputs seg. fault on a yaffs2 partition. Tried already.

Nothing else?
