I'm not sure if this belongs here. Please let me know the proper place if not :)
I boot 2.2pre6 with a new CPU (686MX from 686). First boot was fine. Went to Win9x to check new CPU, fine. Reboot 2.2. Unable to mount /var (ext2fs on hdb2) Ran fsck complained bad-super block. Ran with -b 8193, fixed errors, mounted fine. Rebooted to check.
Failed to mount /var again. Now fsck, mount, and other ext2fs utils say not a valid ext2fs, bad magic number. I tried fsck again with trhe first 10 superblocks, and get the same results.
Looking at results of 'dd if=/dev/hdb2 bs=1024' the magic number is the same as a good ext2fs (0xEF53) at same offset from begining of partition.
Any ideas what is wrong? How to fix?
