[AusNOG] Really embarrassing question. [SEC=Unofficial]

[Paul Wilkins]

When I say {mount point} I should have said {device}

If you open your block device, 'less' will display the contents of
contiguous blocks.

You search for a string, and you'll get a text display of the blocks you're
looking for.

Kind regards

Paul Wilkins
