SYNOPSIS
       debugfs [ -DVwci ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -s superblock ] [ -f cmd_file ] [
       -R request ] [ -d data_source_device ] [ device ]

DESCRIPTION
       The debugfs program is an interactive file system debugger. It  can  be
       used  to  examine  and  change the state of an ext2, ext3, or ext4 file
       system.
       device is the special file corresponding to the device  containing  the
       file system (e.g /dev/hdXX).


Please mention that device can also be a regular file.
E.g., a dd(1) copy of a troubled disk to avoid any further damage.

This is in contrast to the fsck commands, which insist that we cannot
try them on regular files for some reason!?!
