I'm having email problems today, and it's taking a couple hours for me
to see things in my inbox. I actually haven't received the referenced
email yet, but I did see it in the archives.
I'm glad you pointed out the patch in the mailing list from last
December. My intent was to get that into cvs, and I had overlooked it.
I guess it will be in 1.1.9, whenever that is released.
Unfortunately, the damage extends to the root directory, which can't be
ignored. Since fsck says that your primary & secondary allocation
structures don't match, you could try forcing jfs_fsck to use the
secondary instead of the primary. This untested patch should do that.

If this actually works, I will probably make this a command-line option.
If not, it may be difficult to make any further progress. How badly do
you need to recover the data? Is reformatting and starting over an
option?
