I know it is quite a big task to code support for another filesystem, but I lost precious text files on a linux partition, and was not able to recover them using ext3grep :

http://code.google.com/p/ext3grep/

Simple reason : I did some cleaning after my file loss, and the journal wrapped around, so ext3grep can't restore the files I'm looking for because its algorithm wasn't coded for that case.
BUT it founds the corresponding dir entry with the files I'm looking for, a

I'm just asking if you could look into this ext3grep code, I don't have a lot of knowledge in filesystems, and maybe integrate it to your utility... It would be very useful !

Thanks for the read.
