Please advise some package names to look at.

Also trying the -b8193 option may help too... Some time ago I managed to destroy my /home (ran mkswap on it). e2fsck also failed on it and suggested to do a -b 8193 which also failed. After reading the manpage I found out that since a few years the position of the backup superblocks depend on the blocksize. For filesystems with 1k blocksizes, a backup superblock can be found at block 8193; for filesystems with 2k blocksizes, at block 16384; and for 4k blocksizes, at block 32768. Maybe using -b 32768 will help ?? -- Tot ziens, Bart-Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
