Administration Handbook, 3rd ed. by Nemieth, Snyder, Seebass and Hein, I realize that this ext2fs harddrive will best be fixed by putting back into a linux environment and proceeding with fdisk + fsck etc.
cheers

I'm trying to decipher the error message:
ext2fs: #ad/0x000a: wrong magic number 0x8b6 (expected 0xef53)
I've been reading
man magic man file
but I have limited C experience. I see the references to ext2 in /usr/share/misc/magic, particularly:
>>0x43a leshort ^0x0000001 (mounted or unclean)
Since 0x8b6 is much greater than 0x43a, am I to conclude that the drive was umounted incorrectly? If so, is there a way to use 'file' or some other utility to edit the offending magic number to 0xef53?
