Fw: 32k Blocksize Support

["D Landy" <davidlandy clara co uk>]

Hi again, 

First of all, thanks to Eric Sandeen for his offline support. 

I'm coming back here at his suggestion as we haven't managed to resolve it. 

So far, we've established that it *is* an ext2 filesystem (using file -s), 
and that resize2fs reports that it has an invalid superblock.

Does anyone know if a 32k blocksize would cause resize2fs to report an 
invalid superblock? I've downloaded the source code and from what I can see 
the maximum block size is 64k, so I wouldn't have thought so - but I'm not a 
C programmer and have trouble following the source sometimes. 

I'd appreciate another set of eyes going over the code... 

Any help greatly appreciated.
