I want to see what the recovery code in jfs_fsck will try to do. Can you set the FM_EXTENDFS flag as follows: jfs_debugfs /dev/vgmedia/media > sup > m 11 0xa > x > q (jfs_debugfs doesn't know about the flag and will show "unknown state".) then run "fsck -dvf /dev/vgmedia/media" as you did before and send me the output?
