I did some non-z testing a while back where I managed to recover an ext3
filesystem that had been quick formatted as NTFS. Seems home users do
that a bit.
For a newly created (ext3) filesystem that had a few files copied to it
and then formatted - so managed test, not "real world" -
mkfs.ext3 -S ...
enabled all the files to be found by name and recovered.

Note also the caveats in the manpage.
