[dumping a directory entry]
have you tried testdisk? You may display raw sectors
with it and also
directory entries with inode numbers. I just had a look for you, I didn't
find out though how to display the directory entries in raw format.
It's a rather uncomfortable program, I used it once to analyze a messy fat
partition table (Windows wouldn't boot because of wrong chs to lba
translation, really weard why it somehow still needs chs). Perhaps you find
out how it can be used for your goal.
Hey, that one looks interesting. Not sure if I can use it for
what I want to do, but interesting anyhow.
For those who don't know testdisk (I didn't either so far):
Partition scanner and disk recovery tool
TestDisk checks the partition and boot sectors of your disks. It is very
useful in recovering lost partitions. It works with :
- FAT12
- FAT16
- FAT32
- NTFS (Windows NT)
- EXT2FS/EXT3FS (Linux)
- Linux Swap (1 & 2)
- IBM Multiboot
- BeFS (BeOS)
- UFS (BSD)
- ReiserFS (1 & 2)
