Thanks for telling us where you spotted the bug-coreutils@ reference That is no longer the correct address, and I've just fixed that page and added some clarification. FAQ-related discussion is better directed to the [email protected] list. Your message to the bug- list has automatically opened a bug "ticket" http://debbugs.gnu.org/8823 which means someone has to manually close it.

Or may be another coreutils utility can? If a file system is not mounted, then no coreutils program can do what you want. However, if you really need to inspect a file system without mounting it, consider libguestfs (http://libguestfs.org/).
