The file system was probably not unmounted cleanly at some point, and jfs will not mount the file system read-write unless the journal is replayed. Running fsck against the file system should replay the journal and mark the superblock clean. > I have not idea how to fix this, if any of the data is recoverable, > and generally what to do next?
