Daniel, Thanks for sending the superblocks. I was hoping that there were errors in the superblocks that we could repair manually to try to salvage what you had on the device, but such was not the case. Whatever happened on your machine completely overwrote the JFS primary and secondary superblocks, and who knows what else. The superblocks are irreparable.

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
