NTFSCLUSTER(8) System Manager's Manual NTFSCLUSTER(8)

NAME

   ntfscluster - identify files in a specified region of an NTFS volume.

SYNOPSIS

   ntfscluster [options] device

DESCRIPTION

   ntfscluster has three modes of operation: info, sector and cluster.

Info

   The default mode, info is currently not implemented.  It will display general information about the NTFS volume when it is working.

Sector

   The sector mode will display a list of files that have data in the specified range of sectors.

Cluster

   The  cluster  mode  will display a list of files that have data in the specified range of clusters.  When the cluster size is one sector, this will be equivalent to the sector mode of
   operation.

OPTIONS

   Below is a summary of all the options that ntfscluster accepts.  Nearly all options have two equivalent names.  The short name is preceded by - and the long name is  preceded  by  --.
   Any  single  letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.  -fv is equivalent to -f -v.  Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique
   prefix of their name.

   -c, --cluster RANGE
          Any files whose data is in this range of clusters will be displayed.

   -F, --filename NAME
          Show information about this file.

   -f, --force
          This will override some sensible defaults, such as not working with a mounted volume.  Use this option with caution.

   -h, --help
          Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.

   -I, --inode NUM
          Show information about this inode.

   -i, --info
          This option is not yet implemented.

   -q, --quiet
          Reduce the amount of output to a minimum.  Naturally, it doesn't make sense to combine this option with --verbose

   -s, --sector RANGE
          Any files whose data is in this range of sectors will be displayed.

   -v, --verbose
          Increase the amount of output that ntfscluster prints.

   -V, --version
          Show the version number, copyright and license for ntfscluster.

EXAMPLES

   Get some information about the volume /dev/hda1.

          ntfscluster /dev/hda1

   Look for files in the first 500 clusters of /dev/hda1.

          ntfscluster -c 0-500 /dev/hda1

BUGS

   The info mode isn't implemented yet.  ntfscluster is quite limited, but it has no known bugs.  If you find a bug please send an email describing the problem to the development team:
