[Linux-cluster] Can't get past Segmentation Faults

[isplist at logicore.net]

Is it possible that all of my storage was trashed in some way, that the 
devices themselves need to be reformatted? 

I'm using external RAID storage devices and I've noticed that there seems to 
be a bad magic number error when I try to run the usual tools such as fsck or 
e2fsck.

# ./fsck /dev/sdg1
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdg1

# ./e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdg1
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
./e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdg1

Is this why nothing is working and I'm getting seg errors on everything?
