I have no experience with fsdb, so that will take some time for me to
read the manuals.

The filesystem was mounted read-only just then, but fsck_uff -b 160
/dev/da0s1f only says it copies the block, and leaves the filesystem dirty.

root@:~# fsck_ffs -b 160 /dev/da0s1f
Alternate super block location: 160
** /dev/da0s1f
cannot alloc 188446744067446403432 bytes for inphead

UPDATE STANDART SUPERBLOCK? [yn] y


***** FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY *****


I tried with several backup copies (as newfs -N said it would make; this
is a standard install with no fs optimizations). All with the same result.
