It's just the first sector -- calling it a superblock is an old Unix-ism. Even floppies have important information stored in the first sector, and not being able to read it is a serious problem. > Looking through /var/log/messages there are various errors > reported when I switch the camera on, including a FATAL error > referring to a module called scsimon, which doesn't exist (to my > knowledge) - I've scanned through all the kernel source but haven't > been able to locate this anywhere. You may have some hotplug program trying to load scsimon. You could try to find out which and remove the reference, or just ignore the errors. Whatever it might be, it's not necessary. > I'm appending further info below. If anyone can give me advice > I'd much appreciate it! > > Bill Evidently there's some problem reading from the camera.
