Public bug reported:
I had an issue with ext4 on my Ubuntu 9.04 netbook that needed fscking,
but the Alternate Installer CD I burned (for another box, to try LVM on
root) did not have any fsck utility in the "Rescue" boot.
Every installer of Ubuntu should be able to recover any installed system
of that level or earlier, so you'd need a full suite of tools for
filesystem recovery, or at the very least fsck.* (for all filesystems
supported for OS install at that level or earlier) and fdisk/cfdisk.
I was able to burn a standard Desktop ISO and this worked, but in
general (or specifically emergency situations without access to blank
media) you should be able to pop in any Ubuntu LiveCD and recover
filesystems to the point where they boot (AKA fsck, mount, fdisk)..
