Repairing a Corrupted Superblock

  1. Locate the superblock backups of the filesystem.
    1. # dump2fs /dev/<device> | grep -i superblock
  2. Choose a superblock backup location, and check the filesystem using fsck.
    1. # fsck -b <superblock backup location> /dev/<device>
  3. Attempt to mount the filesystem.

Mounting a FS with a Corrupted Superblock

  1. Locate the superblock backups of the filesystem.
    1. # dump2fs /dev/<device> | grep -i superblock
  2. The filesystem can also be mounted by passing the location of the backup superblock to the mount command.
    1. # mount sb=<superblock backup location> /dev/<device> <mount location>
