I don't know what might have changed to make fsck fail on multiple file
systems.  Did you rebuild jfsutils?  What version are you running?  I
think gentoo masks the builds newer than 1.1.4, but 1.1.7 is more
stable.

271 (according to your second post) indicates that jfs_fsck failed to
read a page of the block map.  I really don't know what could have
messed up not only your root filesystem, but two others as well.

One possibility to to try to run jfs_fsck with the flag
--omit_journal_replay.  I don't know if it would make any progress, or
stop in a different spot due to the same error.
