IIRC, with the usual disclaimers, if the original fs was
created with 4K blocks the superblock would be: -b 32768.. The -b
8193 is for 1K block fs's... I hope that's right.. Also, IIRC, a fs
should not be checked if it's mounted which, in this case, it might
be but you don't know it.. I hope I'm not talking thru my hat.. <g>
