[wplug] unable to mount disk

[John Harrold]

Sometime in May Jonathan Billings assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| 
| Oh, it looks like you made the partition on the raw filesystem, rather 
| than create a partition.  You probably lost a the superblock when you
| reinstalled.  You might be able to rescue the filesystem by running 
| '/sbin/fsck.ext3 /dev/hdf'. You might need to use an alternative superblock,
| for example, '/sbin/fsck.ext3 -b 32768 /dev/hdf'.  (I'm assuming a 4k
| blocksize).
| 
| In the future, try creating partitions before formatting a disk. 
| 
| /sbin/fsck.ext3 /dev/hdf 

that worked, thanks. i don't really know what happened though.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
