e2fsck: bad magic number in super-block?

Hi Linux world,

I have a problem with the program e2fsck. I upgraded my kernel to .99pl14.
I was told that some new ext2fs utilities have to be upgraded as well. I
recieved e2fsprogs-0.4a.tar.gz from a sunsite mirror. Compiling was no
Problem but the e2fsck programs exits with the following error message:

e2fsck: bad magic number in super-block

Could some kind soul explane this to me? Thank you very much in advance!

Greetings,
                Frank.
