And another I found at freshmeat.net that may be beneficial to those that are attempting to recover a corrupt filesystem and/or deleted files.
I haven't tried Magic Rescue myself, so use at your own risk.
Magic Rescue 1.1.0
Magic Rescue scans a block device for file types it knows how to recover and calls an external program to extract them. It looks at "magic bytes" in file contents, so it can be used both as an undelete utility and for recovering a corrupted drive or partition. It works on any file system, but on very fragmented file systems it can only recover the first chunk of each file. These chunks are sometimes as big as 50MB, however.
