Hi,
is it possible to Restore files deleted with " rm rf " from ext4
or
ext3 filesystem by mistake.
Regards
Ahmad

Have you looked at and/or tried those? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

Hello, I think the commandline filemanager can reunite you with deleted files. Greetings, j.

Feel free to use it in a blog, just mention my name: Recover files from ext3/ext4 ext4magic How to recover deleted files: I used ext4 magic, replacement for extundelete and ext3grep: http://openfacts2.berlios.de/wikien/index.php/BerliosProject:Ext4magic I have rpm's for CentOS 6 I downloaded from somewhere at: http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-i386/RPMS.plnet-downloaded/ext4magic-0.3.1-1.2.i686.rpm http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-x86_64/RPMS.plnet-downloaded/ext4magic-0.3.1-1.2.x86_64.rpm What to do: 1. First thing to do is to unmount that partition and stop using it. If it is root partition, shutdown system and boot LiveCD/LiveDVD 6.x and work from it 2. Create a copy of your partition (to a filesystem where you have enough free space!): dd if=/dev/DEVICE of=/BACKUPPATH/DEVICE.img 3. Create a backup of ext3/ext4 Journal: debugfs -R "dump <8> /BACKUPPATH/journal.copy" /dev/DEVICE 4. Download and install ext4magic rpm: CentOS i386 - for 32-bit system/LiveCD: wget http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-i386/RPMS.plnet-downloaded/ext4magic-0.3.1-1.2.i686.rpm yum install ext4magic-0.3.1-1.2.i686.rpm CentOS 6 x86_64: wget http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-x86_64/RPMS.plnet-downloaded/ext4magic-0.3.1-1.2.x86_64.rpm yum install ext4magic-0.3.1-1.2.x86_64.rpm 5a. Run ext4magic on the copy/dd-image to recover all deleted files (-m switch): ext4magic /BACKUPPATH/DEVICE.img -m -j /BACKUPPATH/journal.copy 5b. Run ext4magic on the actual partition (not recomended!): ext4magic /dev/DEVICE -j /BACKUPPATH/journal.copy -m 5c. Recovers all files deleted the last 24 hours from directory user1/ which have the string jpg in their filename. The recovered files are stored at /LOCATION_TO_SAVE_FILES. A temporary file ./tmpfile is used to get the list of filenames to recover. : ext4magic /BACKUPPATH/DEVICE.img -Lx -f user1 | grep "jpg" > ./tmpfile ext4magic /BACKUPPATH/DEVICE.img -i ./tmpfile -r -d /LOCATION_TO_SAVE_FILES 5d. Since the files were delete 4 days ago, I decided to R recover (everything) after 5 days ago and before 2 days ago: ext4magic -R -a $(date -d ?-5day? +%s) -b $(date -d ?-2day? +%s) \ -d /LOCATION_TO_SAVE_FILES /BACKUPPATH/DEVICE.img More help: http://source.kohlerville.com/2013/02/ext4-recover-deleted-files-undelete-using-ext4magic-on-centos-6/ -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant
