sdb1 is clean
e2fsck says there is a superblock corruption.
Did you do what it said, and fsck with an alternate superblock ?
What about the other partitions… will it fsck them?
You need to repair that corrupted superblock… I think fsck will do it
Ext2 is more prone to this, it does not keep a journal. Why not use ext3 or 4?
It is probably something trivial… if Gentoo boots and runs it is either ignoring it or working around it. fsck is more picky. gparted seems happy. It seems to be a filesystem issue, not a failing disk, but you can check with smartctl.

Well I found out that the Gentoo Mate DE will only display mounted partitions with using mount points with /media/xxxx.
Now I can only use sudo startx or startx to mount the Mate DE, do not know why the display-manager will not use my username and password.
They are user mounts… made with the File Manager
If you make a system mount with sudo mount /dev/sdx /mnt/...
You can use any mount point you want… ie it doesnt have to be /mnt or /media
All mounts should display with df. I cant be sure what any DE would do
Have no idea as to what happened to my “daniel” user account, added a new user account “danielp” and was able to login to Gentoo. All data is still there, all I did was change logins and put everything back in firefox.
lsblk, df, findmnt,mount were all showing all partitions on /dev/sdb as mounted, but none where showing on my desktop.
I think I would be checking that disk with smartctl
Clearly fsck changed something in your filesystem… are you game to fsck it again…you can do it interactively so you get a chance to back out.
