I am trying to recover data from an unmountable JFS partition on Fedora Core 6. 
fsck.jfs gives me this result:



/sbin/fsck.jfs -n /dev/md1


/sbin/fsck.jfs version 1.1.10, 19-Oct-2005


processing started: 7/6/2007 20.6.4


The current device is:  /dev/md1


Block size in bytes:  4096


Filesystem size in blocks:  122097920


**Phase 1 - Check Blocks, Files/Directories, and  Directory Entries


Secondary file/directory allocation structure (2) is not a correct redundant 
copy of primary structure.


cannot repair an allocation error for files and/or directories -728363008 
through -728362977.


cannot recover files and/or directories -728363008 through -728362977.   CANNOT 
CONTINUE.



I am getting another HD so that I can make a disk image before running
fsck -f to try to fix it. Is there anything else that I should be
trying? Will the fsck -f recover at least a portion of the data?



Thanks for your help.



Note: My full problem is documented on fedora forum:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=826388 but I was looking
for a forum with more expertise on the fsck.jfs results.
