Are there any tools to repair a corrupt ProDOS filesystem. I have no
bad blocks, but several files that I can't delete, copy, rename, etc...
I get errors like "block owner not found", "volume bitmap corrupt",
etc...
I tried to copy the whole volume using the GS/OS finder onto another
volume. This fails with the above errors. However, copying files one
at a time usually works. I can back up the entire volume at the file
level using the archiver from gs/os 6.0.1. However, I can't restore the
backup set onto a blank prodos volume of sufficient size. I get the
same errors as above. This makes no sense to me, as I'm expecting the
archiver to basically doing a tar/gzip.
