/*
 * findsuper --- quick hacked up program to find ext2 superblocks.
 *
 * This is a hack, and really shouldn't be installed anywhere.  If you
 * need a program which does this sort of functionality, please try
 * using gpart program.
 *
 * Portions Copyright 1998-2000, Theodore Ts'o.
 * 
 * Well, here's my linux version of findsuper.
 * I'm sure you coulda done it faster.  :)
 * IMHO there isn't as much interesting data to print in the
 * linux superblock as there is in the SunOS superblock--disk geometry is
 * not there...and linux seems to update the dates in all the superblocks.
 * SunOS doesn't ever touch the backup superblocks after the fs is created,
 * as far as I can tell, so the date is more interesting IMHO and certainly
 * marks which superblocks are backup ones.
 *
 * I wanted to add msdos support, but I couldn't make heads or tails
 * of the kernel include files to find anything I could look for in msdos.
 * 
 * Reading every block of a Sun partition is fairly quick.  Doing the
 * same under linux (slower hardware I suppose) just isn't the same.
 * It might be more useful to default to reading the first (second?) block
 * on each cyl; however, if the disk geometry is wrong, this is useless.
 * But ya could still get the cyl size to print the numbers as cyls instead
 * of blocks...
 *
 * run this as (for example)
 *   findsuper /dev/hda
 *   findsuper /dev/hda 437760 1024   (my disk has cyls of 855*512)
 *
 * I suppose the next step is to figgure out a way to determine if
 * the block found is the first superblock somehow, and if so, build
 * a partition table from the superblocks found... but this is still
 * useful as is.

 *
 * Additional notes by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>:
 * - fixed to support > 2G devices by using lseek64
 * - add reliability checking for the superblock to avoid random garbage
 * - add adaptive progress meter
 *
 * It _should_ also handle signals and tell you the ending block, so
 * that you can resume at a later time, but it doesn't yet...
 *
 * Note that gpart does not appear to find all superblocks that aren't aligned
 * with the start of a possible partition, so it is not useful in systems
 * with LVM or similar setups which don't use fat partition alignment.

/*
 * Documentation addendum added by Andreas dwguest@win.tue.nl/aeb@cwi.nl
 * 
 * The program findsuper is a utility that scans a disk and finds
 * copies of ext2 superblocks (by checking for the ext2 signature
 * 
 * For each superblock found, it prints the offset in bytes, the
 * offset in 1024-byte blocks, the size of ext2 partition in fs
 * blocks, the filesystem blocksize (in bytes), the block group number
 * (always 0 for older ext2 systems), and a timestamp (s_mtime).
 * 
 * This program can be used to retrieve partitions that have been
 * lost.  The superblock for block group 0 is found 1 block (2
 * sectors) after the partition start.
 * 
 * For new systems that have a block group number in the superblock it
 * is immediately clear which superblock is the first of a partition.
 * For old systems where no group numbers are given, the first
 * superblock can be recognised by the timestamp: all superblock
 * copies have the creation time in s_mtime, except the first, which
 * has the last time e2fsck or tune2fs wrote to the filesystem.
