This sounds like the needs recovery flag was set on the backup superblock, which should never happen. Before we try something more extreme, see if this helps you: e2fsck -b 32768 -B 4096 /dev/where-inst-is-located That forces the use of the backup superblock right away, and might help you get past the initial error. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
