Some Adadptec Controller firmware versions will pass incorrect device parameters to the linux kernel. The kernel log output misled me to believe is was a corrupt filesystem or partition map, however it was just an adaptec bug. Adaptac has a fix procedure for this at: http://ask.adaptec.com/scripts/adaptec_tic.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=16914 Below is the my kernel's dmesg output. After following Adaptec's procedure, the errors went away and I was able to mount the filesystem and see all of my existing data. ----- mount: /dev/sda: can't read superblock Mount Error at /dev/sdj.
