If you use fsck.ext2 with the 'b' option to specify an alternate
superblock, then the primary will be fixed.

Your filesystem, depending on size, has several 'backup' superblocks.=20
Basically because they are so important.  If you are comfortable loosing
one of your backups, you don't need to fix it.  I would fix it.
