Which one of us were you answering?

In my case AFAICT only the first two super blocks from the new 
initialized (on top of my previously working partition) file system are 
there.  In a few minutes I will have my program scan the copy I made of 
the partition to verify this.   mount ... sb=n ... didn't like any of 
the superblocks I pointed it to.
