xfs superblock corrupt,how to find next one!

[Bhaskar Chowdhury]

 Hey Dave/Darrick,

 I was stumbled over this last week and ended up recreating(huh!) the
 fs from the scratch . Internet was littered with the information which
 I hardly could use. Oh, btw, I did stumble also in old google group
 where you suggested few stuff to do . 

 But alas, none come to handy. I have tried xfs_db and it spit out lots
 of info including AGS ,but..I had  a simple requirement , just to
 replace the corrupted super block with another good one. Which,
 everyone including you know it very well that can done in ext in a blink of an
 eye(my lack of understanding and exposure are pardonable I believe).

 But I couldn't find an easy way to recover the fs.I followed the
 repair ..get into db as I said ...

 Is it lurking somewhere which I failed to discover or it has been
 implemented in different way , which is not easily decipherable by
 ordinary users...not sure though.

 Kindly ,point out ,which route should one take , when they encounter
 that kind of a situation. Recreating the fs is not an or probably the
 least option to opt for. 


 Thanks,
 Bhaskar
