We ahve used the tools foremost and debugfs to debug the filesystem and read the journal. Is there any way to read the journal? Or How can we read the journal of a filesystem. The inode number of the journal is present in the ext3_super_block structure. But We are able to open the inode only with the help of these tools. Can someone guide us to where tio find the details of how a journal can be read. Regards Ranju.
