The only problematic part is my xfs partition, the drive has some "holes" in it, unfortunatly on the place where the superblock would be. I did: dd_rhelp /dev/hdb4 hdb4.img xfs_repair -f hdb4.img Phase 1 - find and verify superblock... superblock read failed, offset 9397895168, size 2048, ag 1, rval 0 Is there an alternative available on xfs or a way to recreate it? -- Groetjes Japie
