[mdlug] Damaged Image recovery

[David McMillan]

	So, in my ongoing saga of failing hard drives (which is still ongoing) 
I finally looked at what data *did* det rsync'd before the source drive 
hit the floor.  And found that, out of my collection of thousands of 
pictures and photos (mostly JPGs), I've had a nearly 40% loss rate.  The 
files are still there, and seem to be roughly the right size, but 
image-viewing applications just show them as dimensioned 0x0 pixels.
	Does rsync have a history of messing up image files?  I *know* that 
(almost?) all of these corrupted images were good *before* they were 
rsync'd to the backup mirror.
	Anyway, *now* I need a good tool for doing mass recovery of corrupted 
image files.  Since they were all corrupted at the same time, my guess 
is whatever happened, it happened the same to all of them.  So if I can 
determine what happened, maybe I stand a chance of undoing it.
	Recs, anyone?  I've already ruled out moving to the back country of New 
Zealand and starting a technology-free fully-organic subsistence farm 
(technology just *hates* me this month....)
