Usage sample of list utility on JFS2 filesystem.
Following is a sample recovery of a JFS2 filesystem:
# ./v53fslist /dev/fsl05 ## Filesystem Utilities from Compunix. Version v5.1.0. AIX 5.3 ## Copy of v53fslist utility, list recoverable files (not possible to recover files). ## For a recovery utility, contact, ## # starting interactive mode for filesystem on /dev/fslv05 ## JFS2 filesystem. ## 1048493 4k blocks. # Reading inode table.done.
