[Jfs-discussion] Lost Partition -> Recovery problem !

[Gilles M. <gil...@ep...>]

Hi everybody,

I've some problems with a JFS Partition.
Yesterday I have bought a new HDD (250 Go).
After the installation, I've created one partition, and then I have 
formatted it with JFS.
Sadly, I've made a mistake : I've typed `mkfs.jfs /dev/hdd`.
Then I launch fdisk again, the partition were still here, so I think 
there was no problem and formatted my hdd with the right commande 
(`mkfs.jfs /dev/hdd1`). Everything goes fine, I moved my data on this 
new drive.
But after the restart, the partition has disapeared.

I've tried rescue mode with fdisk, but nothing.
Then, I try parted, and he says me :

(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hdd: 0.000-238475.179 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
(parted) rescue
Start? 0.000
End? 238475.179
Information: A jfs primary partition was found at 0.000Mb -> 
238433.211Mb.  Do you want to add it to the partition table?
Yes/No/Cancel? N
Information: A jfs primary partition was found at 0.028Mb -> 
238433.238Mb.  Do you want to add it to the partition table?
Yes/No/Cancel? N
(parted)

But nor the first, nor the seconde gave results...
When I try to create them, and then run fsck.jfs, he complains :

$ fsck.jfs /dev/hdd1
fsck.jfs version 1.1.6, 28-Apr-2004
processing started: 11/20/2004 14.47.52
Using default parameter: -p
The current device is:  /dev/hdd1
Superblock is corrupt and cannot be repaired
since both primary and secondary copies are corrupt.

  CANNOT CONTINUE.

I'm new to JFS and don't know what to try anymore, so if someone can 
help me, many thanks :)

PS : sorry for my poor english...
