I am using openSUSE 13.1, 64-bit.
I recently tried a routine back up of my HDD with Clonezilla Live but the utility kept on giving me an error to the effect that it could not find a partition in the boot manager. (Or something like that...)
So I ran fsck with these results:
% fsck /dev/sda
fsck from util-linux 2.22.2
e2fsck 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
I am not sure what needs to be done now in order to fix the problem. fsck suggests to run
but what is this "<device>"?? And what is a "magic" number??
BTW everything seems to be working fine with my openSUSE installation. I seem to be able to access everything and I get no error messages when I start and use openSUSE...
