Having a bit of trouble with a scsi drive that has a bad superblock in
Solaris 9. I've tried running fsck with an alternate super block and
it is still comming back with the error
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
USE AN ALTERNATIVE SUPER BLOCK TO SUPPLY NEEDED INFORMATION
e.g. fsck [-F ufs] -0b=# [special...] where # is the alternative super block
Any alternative super block I try using newfs -N returns the same
error. I'm trying to retreive the data on the drive because it
doesn't have any back up. (someone forgot to add this server to the
backup scheme) Any help would be handy.
