You must keep using "-n" until you have seen a mostly-clean report! We don't know yet that the chunk size is right. Leaving off "-n" will simultaneously fix the superblock (and all other backup copies) and continue to fix the rest of the filesystem. You mustn't do that with a wrong chunk size--it will damage much more. > when this is done i make full filesystemcheck --> fsck.ext4 /dev/md2_nas > and answer the quest questions. > right? No. Just do the "fsck -n -b xxxx" combinations until you find a good superblock. That report will also show if there are many other errors. Expect scattered damage in the region < 384MB due to the wrong data offset. After that, there should only be errors where the new zeros are, and maybe a few scattered errors from the original crash. If there many more errors, you have the wrong chunk size.
