[NCLUG] recover image files?

[Onyx]

Zil,
It sounds like you have been trying to deal with corrupted images (from 
what you posted and from what others have responded).  I have a 
different thought/approach since your end goal is to restore the 
images.  Were the images on your Linux machine prior to the corruption? 
  If so, do you have snapshot backup functionality?  If the images were 
on your machine before the corruption, perhaps you can restore them 
from the snapshot backups.  Let me know if this /is/ the case and you 
are not familiar with snapshots.  If not, it was just a thought.... 
snapshots have saved me from *many* situations.  ;-)
