I am considering writting a tool to bring a filesystem with a bad super block back from the dead. I looked at the raw data on the disk where the filesystem is. I can see that my data is there. Now does such a tool exist already? Fsck failed. It can't the super block. I tried to force it to look at 32 (and many others). It does not recongnize them. If no such tool exists, I will write a tool to do so. I need to find information on how the UFS2 filesystem works. I have tried google with the BSD filter, I could not find anything useful. I have looked at the source code for UFS2, but it is hard to understand without already having an insight into how the filesystem works. Could someone point me in the right direction? Are there any resources out there explaining the UFS2 in a detailed and technical way? Thank You, -- greg <gval@mts.net>
