That comment was aimed at Barry, the OP who restored his filesystem
using an alternate superblock and has had no problem since...
I have had no problems since, because I have done nothing with the
faulty ptn apart from copying everything on the ptn to a external hd. It
has been returned to Dove and I await their response. BTW the drive was
a WD1600AAJB. The superblock failed and running 'cp /dev/hda6 /dev/null'
reported at least 2 unreadable sectors. It still managed to boot on
another ptn after I deleted the faulty 1 from fstab, but with many
complaints.
THanks for all the replies
