[CentOS] Data recovery with superblocks?

It recently occurred to me, as I was partitioning a RAID with fdisk, that 
when I built the system, I was presented with a graphical utility that 
"magically" created the partitions.

Now, using fdisk, I was reminded of being given superblocks.   Although I 
haven't used data recovery techniques using superblocks, is there a way to 
retrieve the superblock numbers the OS has assigned to a partition?

Thanks.
