Did you ever figure it out?
No. I hope to have enough time to code this up myself this time. It's a Small Matter of Programming to grovel over the filesystem to figure out what a particular sector does. I'm a little disappointed that fsdb doesn't do this. Maybe I should start by hacking on fsdb. I have recently discovered the "conv=noerror,sync" option to dd. In combination with a background shell script which repeatedly runs "atacontrol mode 0 udma6 udma6", this lets me recover all the readable bits from a broken filesystem quite fast.
