The cleanest way is to restore from backup and proceed. Furthermore i suggest to investigate what happened to cause this problem. Normal operation doesn't lead to this type of error. A conceivable common cause is a failing disk which "hdisk type 4" errors have been ignored for too long and now manifest as a "hdisk type 3" error (which is permanent - replace the disk).

In case of absence of a backup (which should lead you to some grave remodeling of your backup strategies and -processes) you might try what the article suggests. You need to locate only one good copy of the superblock to copy it over. Because the superblock is a central datastructure of a filesystem you cannot mount it or do anything else with it as long as you have not corrected this.

I hope this helps.
