Just a suggestion, have you thought about giving UBCD a try? There's a
bunch of software tools on it, most of which are way beyond me, but I
have managed to salvage a couple of hard drives with it in the past.

Thanks for letting me know, Eric!
It seems to me everything is good. (But what do I know!) Here is the
results:
hdparm /dev/sda1
multcount= 16 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
readonly = 0 (off)
reahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 4863/255/63, sectors = 55285760, start =

hdparm won't tell you about the SMART status on a disk. I
yipee! 'mount -o sb=131072 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1' mounted the drive and I can
now browse the folders. So, how do I copy the backup superblock to the
primary superblock? Time to google this...
so while trying to fix it I found out what the problem really is with

I get 15 email a day for National 3-6 month contracts.
I get 4 calls a day for Arizona 3-6 month contracts, none of which I
applied for.
Some of these don't even fall into IT; but include engineer,
administrator, etc.
It's incredibly annoying.

hmmm. no SMART data? I need to read the man page to see how that is done.
still, if it got that much info, the drive might be good. one question: did toy
have an unusual event prior to the drive having an apparent malfunction? such
events may include (but are not limited to) a power bump,
ah, yeah that one too.
there are so many test tools these days. :)

I know the feeling. I see roughly 15 mails a day. I never bothered to publish
my phone, so I don't get the phone calls (fortunately). rigt now, i can't
accept any of these offers simply because I need retraining (waiting on VR to
get their act together).

You're not alone. I can't count the number of Winjobs I've been sent in the
last few months. This despite the fact that Windows doesn't appear on my
resume.
My favorite, though, happened just last week. Cold call from headhunter,
talking about a Unix job and then she asks me, Are you still
okay I ran fsck /dev/sda1 but it comes back with
fsck.ext2: unable to set superblock flags on ubuntu
ext 2? that's not right. I think it is ext 4 maybe 3
so I sat here and thought I would try fsck.ext4 and it is a program.
hm so it says that some group ddescriptors are wong
I've heard of this before. It's even happened to me a few times and I'm
not even a linux professional, merely a hobbyist. I have to wonder if
these people who call are working for companies that are really
desperate for someone, or if they're working some scam.

I have two computers sitting right next to each other connected via a 6
foot long piece of cat 5 I picked up at Wally World one day. They both
have gigabit ethernet cards in them. Both machines recognize the
connection as a gigabit connection, but I'm lucky to get half that.

What's the data you're transferring? Lots of small files (ie
pictures) or large files (ISOs, MP4s, etc)?
What's the OS of each side?
The problem could be your cable as 1000BASE-T was made to work with
Cat5, but Cat5 wasn't designed to work for 1000BASE-T.

Well, I gave up on doing the archive with fsarchiver and just did it with
ssh (more as am in the process of creating). So now I can play with the
crashed drive with reckless abandon and not worry about losing data. If the
archive doesn't fail at least. Sorry about not listening to you before ET.
Take a look at these to see what may be going on:

Some other suggestions would be updating the drivers as well.

It's common. I delisted myself years ago from all job sites, and still

unlimited spamish companies simply replicated my data from job sites at
some point indefinitely. Privacy is an illusion these days.

Look at your disks. If you run a gui on your ubuntu box, use gkrellm
with a view per-disk. You can usually tell easily with it when
something is gnawing on a disk and chugging down the system. SSD's for
personal computing made this problem go away largely for me. Using
