Ethan, FileSystemChecK It checks and repairs damaged UNIX filesystems. It has it's limits…but if you exceed them, you more than likely need to just start from scratch again because the filesystem is probably hopelessly trashed. There's also fsdb FileSystemDeBug which you can use to directly edit a filesystem. It's complicated, and you need to know alot about how the filesystems work…but it has saved my butt. I was able to recover an otherwise completely lost filesystem (500 Megs large!) using fsdb to fix it well enough to let fsck do its thing. Don
