No, that's not so (any more). I have a vague recollection that it used
to be a long time ago, but (from the e2fsck man page) :
-s This option will byte-swap the filesystem so that
it is using the normalized, standard byte-order
(which is i386 or little endian).
I think if there were a missing little-endian conversion anywhere,
someone would have already found it by now since it is in use on
Sparcs, UltraSparcs, MIPS, PPC and m68k based machines, all of which
are big-endian.
Have you checked your cables are okay? A friend of mine lost a lot
of data once when his scsi cable lost one wire..
