NTFS, FAT* yes, ext3, xfs, and jfs no. ext3, xfs and jfs are journalling filesystems so the recovery work is done in kernel space rather then userspace. the fsck that goes with those filesystems is only intended for severe damage (which you will know about since the mount will fail due to journal rollback errors). -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
