Use the JFS utility xpeek to display the primary and secondary superblocks, capture the output to a file, and send it to me. We'll check to see if they can be repaired.
To display the superblocks, enter: xpeek <device name> > su (to display primary superblock) x (to exit su display) > s2p (to display secondary superblock) x (to exit s2p display) q (to quit) Note that a menu of available xpeek commands can be displayed via the h command at the > prompt.

Due to a mistake, I ran into a problem with LVM and I had to recover everything. For most of my stuff, everything went fine and I am up and running. However, I still have a jfs file system which refuses to pass the fsck test. Here is the output from the fsck.jfs command: ------------- BEGIN ------------------- [root@einstein /]# fsck.jfs /dev/datavg/home fsck.jfs version 1.0.15, 15-Feb-2002 The superblock does not describe a correct jfs file system. If device /dev/datavg/home is valid and contains a jfs file system, then both the primary and secondary superblocks are corrupt and cannot be repaired, and fsck cannot continue. Otherwise, make sure the entered device /dev/datavg/home is correct. --------------- END ------------------------- My question: Is there anything I can try in order to recover the filesystem or partial informations from it? -- ======================================= Daniel Savard Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================= _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
