I recently had a hard drive failure, and was able to recover everything except about 36 kilobytes. Unfortunately, it seems there was
important filesystem data there. The first time I ran fsck, I got a bunch of messages about stuff not being referenced or something (unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to log the messages :-( so I can't type them) Now when I run fsck, all I get is what I've pasted below. Is there any chance at all of recovering anything from the filesystem? (I did find this similar message: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01400.html but wasn't sure how much of it was relevant so I wanted to ask before trying anything) fsck.jfs version 1.1.7, 22-Jul-2004 processing started: 7/13/2005 20.31.55 The current device is: /dev/vg0/lvol0 Open(...READ/WRITE EXCLUSIVE...) returned rc = 0 Primary superblock is valid.
