CentOS Error: Superblock
Hi Guys,

I really don't know where to put my query about this. And as a newbie, I think CentOS is closest to Ubuntu. Anyway, here's my dilemma. I have installed a VMWare - ESX 3.5 and installed CentOS 6 and cloned the CentOS 6. The first CentOS was working fine, when i cloned it, and the cloning was finished, and I booted it, the below error appeared:

the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, you might try runnig e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

I would appreciate all the help and comments. thank you guys!

Were you booting the clone or the original?

CentOS is not anything close to Ubuntu. It is, in fact, a clone of Red Hat. That being said, how did you clone it?
