DESCRIPTION¶

cno

single checkpoint number

start..end

every checkpoint number between start and end

..end

every checkpoint number equal or younger than end

start..

every checkpoint number equal or greater than start

This command is valid only for mounted NILFS2 file systems, and will fail if the device has no active mounts.
