I have a somewhat scrambled Fujitsu-330 disk on an MC-5500/RTU-3.1, which I want to mount in order to save what data I can. However, "mount" complains about a bad superblock and won't mount the disk. Does anyone know what sanity checks "mount" makes, or perhaps more importantly, which superblock fields are important to fix with "fsdb" before trying to mount and read this disk? -- Joel M Miller Internet: jmm@skivs.ski.org Smith-Kettlewell Institute Usenet: fernwood!skivs!jmm 2232 Webster St Bitnet: jmm%skivs.ski.org@fernwood.mpk.ca.us San Francisco, CA 94115 Voice: 415/561-1703 Fax: 415/561-1610 Articles to: concurrent@soma.bcm.tmc.edu or uunet!soma.bcm.tmc.edu!concurrent Administrative stuff: concurrent-request@soma.bcm.tmc.edu Stan Barber, Moderator

In article <2488@gazette.bcm.tmc.edu>, skivs!jmm@uunet.uu.net (Joel M. Miller)
explains that he is having superblock problems with a disk and asks what
to modify with fsdb so that mount will work.
Before mucking around with fsdb, how about trying fsck (or at least tell
us that you did try already.) If the fujitsu disk is your one and only,
then you will have to boot to stand alone from floppy and use the sash
version of fsck.
Good luck,
Dale
