Booting my system tonight, I got the following ominous message: fsck.ext3/dev/hda1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
:no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda1 I booted to a rescue disk and tried the e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda1, and I tried 16385 and 24577, all are corrupt. I also tried e2fsck -vpf, as the disk appears clean to e2fsck. Errors are found and repaired, and the disk is pronounced usable by e2fsck, but on reboot the above horror story is played out. Am I screwed, or is there something I have done wrong or haven't tried? Documentation in my texts is slim on fs repair and superblock restoration. Please help. Rob
