Thanks, but I am still lost. These numbers are also mentioned in the
manpages and other docs. How do I know for sure where my primary and
alternate superblocks are? None of the utils in e2fsprogs are able to tell
me that. All I want is to know where the alternate superblock is, so that I
can run fsck using that, in case of a crash.
