NAME
fsdb - file system debugger
SYNOPSIS

fsdb [-F FSType] [-V] [-o FSType-specific_options] special
DESCRIPTION

fsdb is a file system debugger that allows for the manual repair of a file system after a crash. special is a special device used to indicate the file system to be debugged. fsdb is intended for experienced users only. FSType is the file system type to be debugged. Since different FSTypes have different structures and hence different debugging capabilities, the manual pages for the FSType-specific fsdb should be consulted for a more detailed description of the debugging capabilities.

OPTIONS
-F

-V
