Here is a patch that should get you by this specific error, but I'm not
sure how much further you'll get. This is a failure to read an inode
that isn't used. fsck shouldn't give up here. But with both the
journal superblock corrupt, and fsck unable to read this inode, I have a
suspicion that fsck won't get a whole lot farther.
If you can't get fsck to finish, you may try to mount the partition
read-only (mount -oro). If that succeeds, you may be able to recover
some data.

I'm not sure what happened, but jfs is much more stable in SuSe 9.2 than
in 7.3.
