什么是superblock？
可以参考下这个网站：http://homepage.smc.edu/morgan_david/cs40/analyze-ext2.htm
详细的介绍superblock组成 构成
大家可能遇到过这样的情况：
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]#
这种情况一般为superblock损坏的概率很大。
例如我现在/dev/sdb1无法挂载 现象如上，可以这样操作：
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]# dumpe2fs /dev/sdb1
dumpe2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)

所以我做如下操作：
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]# fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdb1

e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)

[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]# ls /mnt/sdb1
lost+found
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]#
superblock已经修复，文件系统挂载正常。 这么做是因为ext2/3文件系统在创建文件系统的时候会创建若干个superblock的备份存放于特定位置。
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]# dumpe2fs /dev/sdb1 | grep --before-context=1 superblock
dumpe2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Group 0: (Blocks 1-8192)

Group 9: (Blocks 73729-81920)
Backup superblock at 73729, Group descriptors at 73730-73730
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]#
从上面操作可以看出，在第1、3、4、7、9这几个Block Group上存放有superblock备份。
什么是Block Group？ext2/3文件系统为了提高磁盘寻道效率，把inode table等信息按照Inodes per group分成若干组存放，而没有全部放在一起。
Inodes per group信息相见命令：
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]# dumpe2fs /dev/sdb1 | grep 'Inodes per group'
dumpe2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Inodes per group: 2008
[root@dhcp-0-142 ~]#
有些文件系统superblock损坏的很厉害。连dumpe2fs和tune2fs都看不到信息。
[root@dhcp-0-175 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1 count=1024 seek=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1024 bytes (1.0 kB) copied, 0.0228272 seconds, 44.9 kB/s
[root@dhcp-0-175 ~]# dumpe2fs /dev/sdb1
dumpe2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
dumpe2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[root@dhcp-0-175 ~]# tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1
tune2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[root@dhcp-0-175 ~]#
这时候我们根本无法从dumpe2fs和tune2fs看到Backup superblock的位置。
我们可以尝试从superblock的结构来猜测superblock的位置（superblock结构见上图）。
我们从superblock结构可以知道，卷标volume name存放于superblock中。所以如果文件系统有设置卷标，那么我们可以尝试从卷标来定位superblock。
我们用hexdump把文件系统dump出来：
[root@dhcp-0-175 ~]# hexdump -C /dev/sdb1 > /var/sdb1.hexdump
[root@dhcp-0-175 ~]#
我们已知 /dev/sdb1的卷标是sdb1(如果不知道卷标或者没有设置卷标，那么我就没办法了)。
我们搜索sdb1，搜到结果如下：
我们猜测这里就是备份superblock的位置。
卷标起始位置是0x18000078。由于superblock结构里volume name位于0x78的位置，所以我们可以猜测备份superblock的起始位置是0x18000078 – 0x78 = 0x18000000。
由于blocksize位于superblock的[0x18, 0x22)的位置，这里的值是0x0002，得出blocksize是0x0400 x ( 0x00020x0002 ) = 0x1000 = 4096
( [0x18, 0x22) 处值n和blocksize的关系是 blocksize = 0x0400 x 0x0002n)
而备份superblock的偏移量为offset / blocksize，即0x18000000 / 0x1000 = 0x00018000 = 98304。
因此我们执行：
[root@dhcp-0-175 ~]# fsck.ext3 -b 98304 /dev/sdb1
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
sdb1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity

Pass 5: Checking group summary information

sdb1: 11/123648 files (9.1% non-contiguous), 8298/246991 blocks
[root@dhcp-0-175 ~]#
这样文件系统就有给修复的可能性了。
测试一下：

其实对于这种superblock破坏很严重的文件系统，其实系统已经有了很强大的修复方案：
我们可以用mke2fs -S 来修复superblock。

当你的系统出现superblock corrupt而无法启动时：
1.用应急盘启动,先看fdisk的结果.如果你的分区表看起来正常,那么恢复的可能性就比较大,如果出现cannot open /dev/sda2的提示,那么想一想你的scsi卡启动没有,如果没有,那么你可以试着用小红帽的安装光盘启动,记住,仅仅是看分区表,千万不要写它.然后把分区情况详细记录下来.
2.试着e2fsck /dev/hda2,(先不要加-p -y 之类的参数,)用手动进行修复,同时也可以了解具体是文件系统的那些地方损坏了,如果你的运气好,e2fsck过去了,/dev/hda2已经基本修复,当然修复的可能是99.9%,也可能是99%这就看文件系统的损坏程度乐,不过现在可以说你的数据已经都找回来了.剩下的事就是mount上把数据备份出来以防万一.
3.如果e2fsck没过去(确保你的硬盘已经正确驱动乐),也不要着急,因为superblock在硬盘中有很多地方有备份,现在你最好把硬盘卸下来挂到另一个好的linux系统上,当然同样要保证硬盘被正确驱动乐.先用e2fsck /dev/hda2,如果结果和前面一样，就用e2fsck -b xxx -f /dev/hda2, xxx是硬盘上superblock的备份块,xxx=n*8192+1,n=1,2,3...一般来讲,如果系统瘫痪的真正原因是superblock损坏，这种办法就应该可以恢复你的数据了。如果执行后的结果还是不能通过,那么往下一步.
4.利用dd命令.先dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/tmp/rescue conv=noerror(/tmp/rescue是一个文件),把重要的数据拷出来,当然,这个盘要比你损坏的盘大一点,否则拷不下.另外,上面的dd命令在不同的境况下if和of应作相应的修改，写在这里只是一个例子，总之在用dd之前最好先看看man.刚才你已经看到你的分区表了,现在找一个和你的硬盘一样的硬盘,应该是一摸一样（大小，型号),在这块硬盘上按照坏盘上的分区表分区，分的区也应该是也是一模一样然后用dd命令把坏盘上superblock location后的东东全部拷到好盘的superblock location后，上帝保佑你，当你再次启动系统时就可以看到熟悉的数据了,有人用这种方法恢复了99%以上的数据,不过好在这种方法(包括前面的方法)没有动那块坏盘上的数据,如果还是没有恢复,那没你还有最后一种选择.
5. 在手册页里称这种方法为last-ditch recovery method,就是说这是最后的恢复方法，只有当你已经尝试了其他的方法,都没有能恢复你的数据的情况下才用,因为这需要冒一定的风险.
把你的硬盘挂在一台好的linux box上，运行：#mke2fs -S /dev/hda2(如果你的数据在hda2里）这条命令只重建superblock，而不碰inode表，不过这仍有一定的风险。good luck to you all.当时也有人建议我如果实在不行的话就重装系统（不动分区也不格式化），这也可能有效，但你也应该清楚这种方法就像mke2fs -S /dev/hd*一样是有风险的。
一点建议：
如果你的硬盘不是可以轻易就重做的，最好在建立一个新的系统后：
1。拿出笔和纸,把你的分区信息详细记录下来.
2. 用mkbootdisk做好现在这个系统的启动盘并测试.特别是如果你用的硬盘是scsi的。
3. 在用mke2fs建立一个文件系统后将屏幕上的superblock所在位置记录下来。
4. 用crontab对重要数据进行备份。ext2文件系统（包括其他的unix文件系统）是很强壮的，但你仍然应该小心。
RedHat官方解释：
解决方法:
通常在作磁盘操作之前应该备份磁盘的数据，在作这个操作之前也应该把磁盘上的所有内容备份到另一个磁盘中。就是说如果这个故障盘是20g的话，就需要一个20G的备份空间。备份的命令如下：
#dd if=/dev/baddrive of=/storagearea
然后可以在已经卸载的故障盘上运行如下命令找到备份的superblock.
#mke2fs -n /dev/badparition
再运行mke2fs命令的时候需要把参数设置成为文件系统创建时所用的参数。如果当初使用的是默认值， 那就可以使用如下命令：
#mke2fs -n -b 4000 /dev/hdb1
可以看到有如下的输出:
