Hi, I just found out, I deleted an important file, which was (of course) just downloaded to the computer from the digital camera, and deleted there. So, no backups. But when I tried to find the deleted INODE with debugfs and lsdel It said "no files deleted". Is this the normal behaviour? Is there a possibility of getting the data back? The kernel I use is 2.2.17-6 from the RH beta-program, together with e2fsprogs-1.30-0ext3. bye, Andreas

I won't have any time to do much debugging of debugfs soon, unfortunately. Cheers, Stephen

Even the newer debugfs Version 1.20-WIP from the 17th of January sais "0 deleted inodes found".> I won't have any time to do much debugging of debugfs soon, > unfortunately.So you think it is a problem of debugfs? bye, andreas
