restore JFS filesystem under Ubuntu

today, a 5 disk SATA raid5 array misteriously went to ‘beeping mode’, it was unable to mount the JFS partition, however the ext3 root partition worked (thank God!) so we’ve needed to do the following:

apt-get install jfsutils
fsck.jfs -a -f /dev/sda2 -j /dev/sda2
