Check all the partitions if they are of correct size. Already done. I booted with the rescue system from the installation CD and I rewrote /etc/raidtab. The partition table seems OK, the partitions have the correct sizes and the correct types. The raid array starts fine and /proc/mdstat reports everything OK > Then do rebild-sb and choose more correct superblock version (if asked). > If you are not asked for the fs version, that's bad. Let us know then. Just done that. It's asked me the fs type and I've entered the one you told me. It seemed to work. I ran --rebuild-tree after that and it started replaying the journal - which it had not done before - but then it still died with "wrong superblock". The exact message is: init_source_bitmap: bitmap 0 (of 6450048 bits) is wrong - make all blocks [0-32768] as used init_control_bitmap: wrong super block I guess I made things worse with my initial attempt as rebuilding the superblock. BTW - I tried, as I have nothing to lose at this point :) - to re-do --rebuild-sb and now it doesn't ask for the version > Thanks for your report. Thanks very much for your help Eugenio
