Did you get any answers ?

I managed to accidentally resize my Work: partition which is now uninitialised.

Is there an easier way than forever adjusting the lower block position and rebooting until I find the right place - this could take forever !

It worked like a charm, I now have my Work partition back. A brilliant utility, it should be part of the OS !

Anything similar to find a JFXS partition lost by moving it ? I know we are not supposed to use JFXS anymore but I need to find it in order to copy its contents before getting rid of it finally.

Basic support for JXFS added. Download again from the same link.

I don't know it if works, I only have one JXFS partition for testing. Especially the calculation of the checksum is puzzling.

And it does not find the volume name. Don't know where it could be hidden. None of the fields of the first block seems to point to some kind of root block. Reverse-engineering is boring. I really prefer properly documented software.

I had quite a few JFXS partitions, one moved and several deleted. RDBrecov managed to find them all. It is working well.

And it does not find the volume name. Don't know where it could be hidden. None of the fields of the first block seems to point to some kind of root block. Reverse-engineering is boring. I really prefer properly documented software.

For the purpose of restoring my "Images:" partition, the volume name was not needed. I knew roughly where the partition should be and the block numbers output by RBDrecov were sufficient to restore the partition. So the ability to output the volume name would be a nice extra rather than a neccesity.

Thanks again for rescuing my hard drive from clumsy mouse operation !
