Are we looking in > the wrong place? After trying out 5.2-RC2, it seems like the offsets reported with the `c' slice are from the beginning of the disk, not from the beginning of the slice. That accounts for the +63 difference. I guess it's documented somewhere, but as I don't use 5.x I haven't read its docs. > What about that potentially good superblock we found a > while ago?
