Many thanks
My partition is ok, I just want to repair the file system but :

#fsck mess up  with the superblocks
Restarting e2fsck from the beginning...
Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1

and #gpart give me an error message
# gpart /dev/sda1
*** Fatal error: ioctl(BLKGETSIZE) failed: File too large.

Any hint wellcome
Gilles
