The partition was successfully mounted and all the files were recovered, but they appear in numbered folders, under <lost+found> folder.
It is curious how this happens on very different filesystem types, when damaged badly. Last time I saw that was on an NTFS partition (MFT damaged). Photorec recovered most of the files, but all directories where converted to numbers. In the end, I had to use proprietary software (Restorer Ultimate), which I saw recomended at the photorec site, of all places. I remember that in MsDos times we had utilities that did backups of the directory structure in files placed strategically on the disks. Perhaps we should do the same now :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
