6The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
7filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
8filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
9is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
10    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
11 or
12    e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
