Are there any specialized/preferred tools to repair a filesystem for ext3 (or ext4) other than fsck.ext3, fsck.ext4?

Thanks

It's the filesystem that's damaged, or the partition/volume? – Bart Silverstrim Jul 25 '11 at 3:41

fsck is the preferred tool to repair filesystems. When it fails, there's the dangerous (as in: use only in emergencies) fsdb. – Chris S♦ Jul 25 '11 at 3:57
"other than fsck.ext2, fsck.ext4" - why? – symcbean Jul 25 '11 at 14:20

From what I have seen fsck is the best tool there and definitely the price is right! :-)

I'm interested as to what problems you are encountering with this very proven piece of software?
