Update:

I booted with tomrsrtbt disk:

http://www.toms.net/rb/

and successfully ran the included e2fsck which appears to be the same
version as I have installed on my 4.8 box.

However I still get the same error when I try to run e2fsck under FBSD:

# e2fsck /dev/ad0s5
e2fsck 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 1281175 blocks
The physical size of the device is 0 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort<y>?


The ext2fs partitions exist in an extended partition. Am I missing some
knowledge about using extended partitions? They mount normally and have
otherwise (until the system crashed/hung) operated flawlessly to date. Does
anyone know why I'm unable to use the ext2fs utilities (installed from
/usr/ports/sysutils/e2fsprogs)?


Thanks,

Wayne
