Actually, I was looking for a useful responses (such as a pointer to an
'fsdb' equivalent that understands LFS) rather than a smart-ass one.  Guess
I should have been more clear.

Well, you could learn the LFS data structures yourself, and then go to your
nearest hex editor and start looking for brokenness and fix
it yourself. :P   That, or you could figure out what is wrong and
then add support for this type of problem to fsck_lfs.  I don't think there
is a easy or pretty way.
