Hi,

Just this afternoon, I was copying some files between an
NTFS external USB drive to a JFS eSATA drive and something caused the
kernel to panic and crash.

Now when I try to mount or fsck my JFS drive I get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ sudo fsck.jfs /dev/sdb
fsck.jfs version 1.1.11, 05-Jun-2006
processing started: 3/17/2007 21.10.46
Using default parameter: -p
The current device is:  /dev/sdb

The superblock does not describe a correct jfs file system.

If device /dev/sdb is valid and contains a jfs file system,
then both the primary and secondary superblocks are corrupt
and cannot be repaired, and fsck cannot continue.

Otherwise, make sure the entered device /dev/sdb is correct.

I
have since attached the drive to a Windows XP machine and can see that
a commerical program called "Nucleus-Kernel-JFS-Demo" can read the
partition, but I'd rather not pay $359 if I can avoid it.  Are there any other 
less expensive ways to recover my data?

I tried to download jfsrec from SVN and compile it, but I get the following 
problems with the ./configure:

"Error, boost/progress.hpp header is missing!"
