The advice to look for a superblock at 8193 is rather dated. I have not
seen mke2fs put a superblock there in a long time. You can try
e2fsck -b 32768
which is where I see mke2fs put the first superblock these days. If you
want to be sure, do
mke2fs -n /dev/hda5
This will run mke2fs as if to create a filesystem, but it does not really
create one. That will tell you where mke2fs would like to put the
superblocks. Try those values as the parameter to '-b' for e2fsck.
