Well, I found SOMETHING of decided interest: when I run dumpe2fs with any backup superblock, this happens: --- Filesystem created: Tue Nov 4 08:56:08 2008 Last mount time: Thu Aug 18 21:04:22 2022 Last write time: Thu Aug 18 21:04:22 2022 --- So the backups have not been updated since boot-before-last? That would explain why, when fsck tries to use those backups, it comes up with funny results.
Interesting.
Is this ...as intended, I wonder? Does it also imply that any file that was written to > aug 18th will be in an indeterminate state? That would seem to be the implication.
Hmm. I wouldn't have thought so, but maybe the backup blocks don't get updated as often?
