introduction.
This is a collection of some BFS recovery/check/info tools. All programs are currently non-destructive - for example, that means that you can't repair an unmountable volume, but you may be able to copy all files left to another disk.
Please consult the documentation for an explanation of every single tool.

installation.
Just move the binaries somewhere in you path - ~/config/bin is most appropriate for this, and there is even a symbolic link to this folder to move the binaries in for your convenience.
