Hi,

i hope, i have chosen the correct forum for my problem.

I want to analyse an image-file of a partition (debian) with the filesystem ext3.

According to this documentation:
nongnu.org/ext2-doc/ext2.html#SUPERBLOCK

the superblock is the first 1024 bytes of a partition (point 3.1.).

and i have read in MBR that the start-sector of my partition is the sector "0x63". (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitionstabelle) -> documentation is unfortunately in german but you may understand the partitiontable -> in the yellow area the byte "1c6" shows start-sector in this partition -> 0x3f -> 63 decimal (exactly like my partition)

so my question: from which byte does the superblock start in my image-file?

Srry for my bad English. I hope, i could explain my problem properly

thanks for any help.
