Message-Id: <1359127752-7125-1-git-send-email-psusi@ubuntu.com> Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 10:29:10 -0500 From: Phillip Susi <psusi@...ntu.com> To: tytso@....edu Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 1/3] e2image: add offset switches Add -o and -O switches to specify the offset where the source and destination filesystems start. This is useful if you have an image of a partitioned disk or wish to create one.
