I tried e2fsck -cf /dev/hda3 and /dev/hda1 and both seem to be clean????
I did a little research and answered my own question regarding -b 16385.
I also found the following (written in 97 so may be dated) :
"Copies of the superblock are also maintained at each group boundary for backup
purposes. The Blocks
per group value tells us the offset for each superblock. The first begins at one, the
succeeding are located at multiples of the
Blocks per group value plus 1. "
I ran dumpe2fs and it reports my Block per group as *****. I tried e2fsck -b XXXX+1
/dev/hda1 where XXXX was different multiples of *****. I also tried the same using
many different multiples of 8192. It seems almost like every single copy of my
Superblock has been wiped out?!
I certainly wasn't doing anything fancy before I rebooted. The sheer randomness of
this error is killing me.
