If your jfsutils is older than version 1.1.5, there is code that does
duplicate block checking that runs very, very slowly.  This code isn't
run often, but when it is, it's bad.  This was fixed in version 1.1.5,
so I would suggest getting a newer version.

Yes, but it might not be easy.  If you are lucky, you'll find
subdirectories in lost+found that will contain their contents intact.
Individual files may be harder to identify, as they no longer have their
pathnames associated with them.
