When I got home today I discovered that the power went off while I was out. When I turned on the monitor to my Debian potato box, I saw a message that said "bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda1" and that the superblock could not be read and that I should try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock. I then tried "e2fsck -b 8193" and got the same message, so I then tried it with 16385 and got the same message.
I am a total newbie when it comes to working with superblocks; can anyone give or point me to a step-by-step fix (assuming there is one)? Thanks!
