Hi Simon! This sounds great because I have an exact binary copy of a partition where the harddisc had hardware errors on the sector of the superblock. It 'only' contains private stuff that was not important enough for me to create such a tool but important enough to burn the image on DVDs and wait. ;-)
So how do you have to call the program? program INPUT_JFS_PARTITION OUTPUT_DIRECTORY? Will your tool work with an image file as INPUT_JFS_PARTITION too? I just started to recreate the image file from the several DVDs. So on the coming weekend I could have time to test it. Regards and thanks for the effort!
