I am using the accounts feature of bitcoind , if a wallet gets corrupted and bitcoind is started with -salvagewallet then the account information is lost.
So, is there any built in feature that will rebuilt also my accounts ?
Is there an alternative to salvagewallet that keeps account info?

This could be a solution once released:
"Add -zapwallettx function, a diagnostic tool to assist in wallet repair" - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3659
Will surely take a look when it is released. Thanks for the heads up. – drcelus – 2014-02-13T09:22:11.443
have you tried to use pywallet to restore the file? – Joe White – 2014-01-07T21:09:21.807
Haven't tried but I have read this : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pywallet , and there is no mention about accounts support for this utility.

well there's a lot more to it than just that one liner. there's an entire thread on it (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34028.0). you can do wallet surgery and remove offending errors and then set the rest back in place. if you are a skilled enough wallet surgeon you can leave everything in place. Honestly though: I'm not a huge fan of the accounting feature it causes too many headaches when we should be using other means rather than accounting (personal opinion though nothing more) :)
