Well, the original problem was in incorrect superblock. To find the second one you need to check 32 or 160 for an valid superblock. If you can get the information if it's UFS1 or UFS2 only from the superblock, then you gotta check both (in the worst case). Kinda chicken and egg problem. - Oliver -- | Oliver Brandmueller | Offenbacher Str. 1 | Germany D-14197 Berlin | | Fon +49-172-3130856 | Fax +49-172-3145027 | WWW: http://the.addict.de/ | | Ich bin das Internet.
