Is it possible that all of my storage was trashed in some way, that the devices themselves need to be reformatted? I'm using external RAID storage devices and I've noticed that there seems to be a bad magic number error when I try to run the usual tools such as fsck or e2fsck. # ./fsck /dev/sdg1 fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks... fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdg1 # ./e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdg1 e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) ./e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdg1 Is this why nothing is working and I'm getting seg errors on everything?
