    Bad superblock, wrong fs type, missing codepage...help!

    I tried to mount my back-up partition located on another hard-drive.
    mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /local
    With the following result:
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
    missing codepage or other error
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so
    Is all hope out. Can I save my back-up data?
    Any advise is welcome.
    thanks

    It could because of unclean filesystem.

    Running fsck against ur FS shud solve the issue.

    Do
    fsck /dev/sda2
