Hi, I have a disk that I sent out for data recovery. The recovery place returned my data on another hard drive. I'm trying to mount the relevant partition of said hard drive. When I do I get: mount: /dev/ad1s2e on /mnt: incorrect super block When I try to fsck, I get: INCORRECT SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG it tries for an alternate superblock, fails and then I try doing fsck -b 32 (as recommended in the manpages) and I get the same error. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or something else to try? Can I somehow regenerate the super block? Thanks, Paul
