Subject: [Jfs-discussion] recovery after format ?

(This may be a possible re-post, though I'm not seeing it in the
archive, nor did I receive it from the list)
I just performed an installation of a new distribution on one my laptops
spare partitions. Unfortunately it looks like that as part of the
installation, one of the existing jfs partitions that was not set to be
re-formatted, inadvertantly was. A jfs_fsck reports no errors for this
partition, there are no files/directories in a directory listing. A
search for various strings reveals the data is still there and not
zero'd out. I have backups of super-critical data, so this is tragic but
not disasterous. Still, I wouldn't mind devoting some time to attempting
a full recovery.
I haven't been able to google up any jfs file recovery tools, but then
search is all about your search criteria, and I might not be using the
right ones. Would there also be a way to manually do a full or partial
recovery that wouldn't take until the heat death of the universe ? It's
a 10G partition with about 4G of data that'd I'd have to wade through.
I've seen mention of undelete in the mailing list archives, but nothing
on recovering after a format.
Regards,
Scott
