if you do a man on your filesystem mkfs type you should find an option like the one in mkfs.ext3 below...
-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 parame-
ters that were passed when the filesystem was originally
created are used again. (With the -n option added, of course!)
