Error Fail to check disk
Hi there,

I can't find any way to check the file system on a partition.
The two following command fail with the same result:
Code:
e2fsck /dev/sdc10
e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdc10

Output:
Code:
e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc10

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, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

I already tried and searched this forum but none of the following threads could be of any help:
Can't repair super block, bad magic number - The UNIX and Linux Forums
Corrupted Hard Drive - The UNIX and Linux Forums
Bad magic number in super-block - The UNIX and Linux Forums

What other command can I do the check and repair the filesystem.

Thanks for your help
Santiago
