Fortunately for those with the small misfortune of having lost a superblock,
and for those who earn a living doing data rescue, things aren't quite as bad
as all that. Superblocks contain very little that's necessary, and nothing
that can't be reconstructed from an otherwise intact file system. Don't give
up hope, and don't believe all the gloomy things you read on the net.
