Usually, secondary superblock is located in the last block (4 KB) of the volume. In nilfs2_fs.h exists such #define NILFS_SB2_OFFSET_BYTES(devsize) ((((devsize) >> 12) - 1) << 12) which define placement of the secondary superblock (devsize is size of the device in bytes). Magic number of NILFS2 is 0x3434. It is located on 0x0006 bytes offset from superblock's begin. > > > Do you sure that this volume doesn't contain another damaged sectors? > > > in my case, that doesn't matter: all the data i want to recover is either in > Git (which does internal consistency checks) or in MySQL, which also does > /some/ consistency checks. > > > Cheers, With the best regards, Vyacheslav Dubeyko. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nilfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
