+/* Well, here's my linux version of findsuper.
+ * I'm sure you coulda done it faster. :)
+ * IMHO there isn't as much interesting data to print in the
+ * linux superblock as there is in the SunOS superblock--disk geometry is
+ * not there...and linux seems to update the dates in all the superblocks.
+ * SunOS doesn't ever touch the backup superblocks after the fs is created,
+ * as far as I can tell, so the date is more interesting IMHO and certainly
+ * marks which superblocks are backup ones.
+ *
+ * This still doesn't handle disks >2G.
+ *
+ * I wanted to add msdos support, but I couldn't make heads or tails
+ * of the kernel include files to find anything I could look for in msdos.
+ *
+ * Reading every block of a Sun partition is fairly quick. Doing the
+ * same under linux (slower hardware I suppose) just isn't the same.
+ * It might be more useful to default to reading the first (second?) block
+ * on each cyl; however, if the disk geometry is wrong, this is useless.
+ * But ya could still get the cyl size to print the numbers as cyls instead
+ * of blocks...
+ *
+ * run this as (for example)
+ * findsuper /dev/hda
+ * findsuper /dev/hda 437760 1024 (my disk has cyls of 855*512)
+ *
+ * I suppose the next step is to figgure out a way to determine if
+ * the block found is the first superblock somehow, and if so, build
+ * a partition table from the superblocks found... but this is still
+ * useful as is.
+ *
