Hello,

as YaST and fdisk showed different output for the partions of my
hard-disk, I got confused and lost the correct start point for my
partition /dev/hda5.

Recreation of superblocks by reiserfsck --rebuild-sb creates a
superblock, but afterwards, --rebuild-tree terminates with a message
that no metadata can be found. 

Now I am trying to find out which of the blocks is the superblock. I
made first attempts with
a) copying using the command dd and then
b) use of grep ReIsEr2Fs as search string on blocks of 4096 bytes.

Techical background information
 reiserfs: 3.6.9
 Kernel: 2.4.21
 Hard disk: Maxtor 9084006
 
Is this a possible approach?

Thanks for Your help
