Data Offset : 262144 sectors Super Offset : 0 sectors This is /dev/sda1 which starts at sector 128 of /dev/sda. Sector 1110 on /dev/sda is bad. That would place it between super offset and data offset. Thus, there wouldn't be a filesystem there. I'm asking if it contains any "data" that might be "used" by "something". My /dev/md0 data starts at offset 262144 of /dev/sda1 which is well beyond sector 1110 of /dev/sda. -- Microsoft has beaten Volkswagen's world record. Volkswagen only created 22 million bugs.
