I have an IDE drive running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE that had a superblock corruption on the / partition as a result of a faulty motherboard. When I do an fsck_ffs -o -b 32 /dev/ad2s2a it passes all the scans. However after that fsck_ffs /dev/ad2s2a still fails: root # fsck_ffs /dev/ad2s2a ** /dev/ad2s2a Cannot find file system superblock /dev/ad2s2a: INCOMPLETE LABEL: type 4.2BSD fsize 0, frag 0, cpg 0, size 13211287 I did a fair bit of reading the archives and I thought that fsck is meant to replace the faulty superblock automatically when you specify an alternative with the -b flag, but that is not happening. Can anyone tell me how to replace the superblock with the copy at block 32 which still seems to be o.k?home | help
