YOU MUST USE THE -b OPTION TO FSCK TO SPECIFY THE LOCATION OF AN ALTERNATE SUPER-BLOCK TO SUPPLY NEEDED INFORMATION; SEE fsck(8). ---- this is all well and good, but according to 'man 8 fsck', there is no '-b' option. any thoughts on way around this? I'm running on 5.4-STABLE. thanks in advance, darren david
