It is possible that the first superblock has gone bad, try one of the other superblock backups, one of them may allow you to get it working. But if the drive has gone bad this probably will not do much. I personally have a second drive which contains a duplicate of the main disk and if one fails I can boot from the second. The chances of loosing both disks is very slim.

Re: [gentoo-user] Repairing damaged partition
As for a solution ... I have no idea. As for prevention (in the future) .. try reiserfs. Greetings Ralph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Repairing damaged partition
Hi, I just rebooted one of my snort machines and i got a kernel panic and a lot of "Drive seek errors" om my ext3 partition. The first time i run fsck form a cdrom on that partition it just says again drive seek errors and non-recoverble. The second time, fsck says: could this be a zero lenght partition. How can i repair this disk? One bizar thing is, i got just the same problems a few months ago also and then i replaced the disk. TIA Patrick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
