Ext3 users - Apr 2006 - problem with e2fsck not knowing xfs

Hi!

I had problem yesterday with e2fsck. 
It reported a bad superblock.
I then tried to use one of the other superblocks.
To no avail. 

Then later I remembered that I had switched the fs type to xfs.
Maybe e2fsck could recognize other common fs types,
and report this instead?

best regards
keld

Or, maybe you can change your /etc/fstab to report the filesystem type
as xfs.
