<br>The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2<br>filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2<br>filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock<br>
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:<br> e2fsck -b 8193 <device><br><br>I also tried it with " e2fsck -f /dev/sdz", same error<br><br><br></div></div>
