Right, I had attached the broken virtual disk to a FreeBSD 12 VM I had =

the filesystems. I've since updated this working VM to 13.2 and I'm =
getting a bit more informative error messages out of tools like =
fsck_ufs.

It's looking like either something trashed the superblocks, or the =
partition offsets were changed.=20

It's quite a mystery at the moment.
