Looking at jfs_fsck, it's supposed to recognize when this happens and
recover gracefully.  I can tell you it's been a long time since anyone
verified that that code path actually works.

Possibly.  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

(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?

Thanks,
Shaggy
