from `man mke2fs': ...
-n causes mke2fs to not actually create a filesystem, but
display
what it would do if it were to create a filesystem. This
can be
used to determine the location of the backup superblocks
for a
particular filesystem, so long as the mke2fs
parameters that
were passed when the filesystem was originally created
are used
again. (With the -n option added, of course!)....

You should be able to use a backup superblock on that filesystem. You can use e2fsck -b xxxxx where xxxxx is the location of the backup superblock. This location changes depending on block size of the filesystem. If your filesystem was created with 4k block size the your first backup super block would be at 32768. You can also se dumpe2fs to find this information on your other filesystems.
Good luck
Hello, gurus!Jae-hwa Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/19/03 04:34 AM >>>
Please help me. We're using Linux on zSeries (RedHat 7.2) now. After z/VM
crashed,
linux server(ceuna) have some filesystem error like the below.
Are there any way to recover this problem?

e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open

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>
