Hmm.  You're right.  The e2fsck man page gives some suggestions for
superblock 
locations.  I'll poke around some more, tomorrow.

Thanks,

&gt; &gt;I just upgraded my home computer to Mandrake 10.1.  It appeared to go

&gt; &gt;expect  the upgrade to even touch that partition, much less write to 
&gt; &gt;it.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Anyway, fsck complains that it can't find a superblock for it (it is

&gt; &gt;supposed to be ext3) and that I should try another block.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Is there any way to figure out where the superblocks are?  The error

&gt; &gt;message suggested trying 8192, or some such, but that didn't work.  
&gt; &gt;Are  there some common alternate superblocks?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Thanks,
