[root@Webby root]# e2fsck -b 131073 /dev/hdb
e2fsck 1.23, 15-Aug-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdb
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>
I've tried quite a few different superblocks, but I need a command to tell me what my
block size is. I might be sending it searching in the wrong location. The partition
table seems fine:
Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 525 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 1 11 88326 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 12 470 3686917+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb3 471 503 265072+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb1 is fine
/dev/hdb2 has major issues..
