Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: jfsutils
Version 1.1.12-2 of fsck.jfs aborted with the message:
Unrecoverable error writing M to /dev/sdf1. CANNOT CONTINUE.
It was however possible to mount the file system read-only ("mount -oro
/dev/sdf1 /mnt/misc").
After investigating, I downloaded and built version 1.1.14 manually, ran
jfs_fsck and it finished perfectly, restoring full access to the file
system.
Therefore I strongly suggest to take up the latest version of jfsutils
in the mainstream Ubuntu versions. Version 1.1.12 is about two years old
and various bugs are fixed that people may run into.
