[Buildroot] EXT2-fs error

[Johnny Beardsmore]

Further to this problem:

I tried following advice recieved earlier in this thread (to check it on the build machine), and get the following output.

rootfs.i486.tar.bz2 was generated by Buildroot.  I didn't think e2fsck could be used in this way, and that may be why this error is thrown, but if this is a valid operation, what could cause it?

[root at localhost images]# /sbin/e2fsck -f rootfs.i486.tar.bz2 
e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
/sbin/e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
/sbin/e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open rootfs.i486.tar.bz2

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
