Howdy Crew, I am wanting to find out the significance of the Super Block, whether FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris... whatever.
I know: * The Super Block contains critical data for the device's filesystem [but what ??]. * It is located on sectors 16 through 31 at the beggining of the device. * FreeBSD keeps an alternate SuperBlock at the begging of every cylinder group. * The first alternate Super block on FBSD is at block 32. This is all the info I could scrounge up. What does the SuperBlock actually do ? Why is the SuperBlock so critical ? Can anyone give me a *good* summary on the purpose of the Super Block ? And/Or any recommendations ? Thanks - Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
