An external hard disk of mine became corrupted, and in an effort to save the data on it I dd'd it to another hard disk. Both disks were formatted in Yast (openSUSE 13.1) with a single ext4 partition. But after using dd, now the filesystem is gone from the second disk, though otherwise the partition table appears to be intact, and cat and grep show at least some of the data. I had run `e2fsck -b 32768 -c' on the first disk when the problem first appeared (it was unmountable), but that seemed to make things worse, so I'm reluctant to try it on the second disk, unless someone convinces me I used it wrong and tells me the right way. Or is there another way to restore the filesystem without losing the data?
