Hello,

I've had power loss on my linux router. After I booted i've received the following error message:

fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda9

Here is what I have tried so far:

mke2fs -n /dev/hda9
fsck.ext3 -b <superblock> /dev/hda9 (i tried all superblocks from mke2fs output)

the error message always is the same:

Superblock needs_recovery flag is clear, but journal has data.
Recovery flag not set in backup superblock, so running journal anyway.
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda9

I got this error on 3 of my partitions hda6 7 and 9.

Data is intact on all of them. Just this error message I am unable to fix.

Please help to fix this.
Thanks in advance,
Julian
