drive. and is rather important. repeatedly running
fsck, it just asks to use the backup at sector 32. I
can't seem to find any other software to replace it or
edit it. I've read a fair amount of man pages now.
If you have another disk to boot from, try mounting your old /var
read-only. At least then you could get your data off it.

I had an ide cable go bad, the harddrive was
unable to mount. I have since replaced the ide cable. when I fsck
I use the alternative superblock at 32 I believe.
How do I copy the alternative to the non-existant main?
I think fsck does this automatically - you may have
to reply "y" at the
right place.
