Recently (and for ages, I'm sure) folks have suffered partition destruction and had to try and recover. In the recent thread, the victim eventually had to resort to Google and fond some package that I can not remember now. Well, I was perusing my YumInfo.lst.05, for general info, and I discovered this (potential) little gem. Thought I would pass it on and make it "more googleable"

Yes, I rm'ed the wrong directory. The disk has not been written to since, now mounted ro. Is it possible to recover the files without doing forensics on the whole partition? I know the UID and path. XFS is supposed to be pretty amazing, can I get it to do this? Thanks, Dave

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

Hi, Thanks for your reply. The file system type is xfs. And I found xfsdump/xfsrestore can undo the remove. I use dd to copy the partition as one image file. How do I mount the image as read-only device? Then I can try to recover the deleted files/directory anytime. Thanks!

The trashcan is a "security blanket" feature that Windows/MacOS/OS2/BeOS users now take for granted. Convincing them that this is now impossible because we've

Hi all, Can anyone explain or give an clues as to what just happened? I'm running CentOS 5.2 as a desktop with Gnome. Fully up to date, etc. I was dragging a folder of image (.jpg) files to another folder on the same filesystem (LVM ext3) with the mouse and as I dropped the folder into the new folder - poof! - it disappeared like a puff of smoke. I've searched everywhere for the

Hi, The title says it all. One of my clients showed me a 120 GB hard drive that his daughter accidentally formatted, according to him. I booted the first CD I had at hand - a Slackware 11.0 install CD - and launched cdfdisk /dev/hda. cfdisk informed me that there was even no partition table. So much for reformatting. cfdisk only shows me 120 GB of free space. Any way to retrive data on this

Months ago there was a thread here about the implementation of a simple undelete-function (i.e: dont delete files, but move them to a folder). Is this this still a relevant idea or has this feature low priority ? thanx, peter ps: anyone knows about a 3rd-party software (propably on nt-side) that implements such a feature ? -- mag. peter pilsl phone: +43 676 3574035 fax : +43 676 3546512

I'm using the lazy expunge plugin as configured in: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge The page claims users can undelete messages without assistance from a sysadmin. How is this accomplished? When I try to subscribe to the folders under the EXPUNGED namespace, nothing happens. ~Cory Coager

Hi, my / is located on /dev/hda6 and my "personal storage partition" - the palce where I store my important files - is located on /dev/hda9. I've deleted a couple of files in /dev/hda9/xyz/abc. Exactly I've deleted the whole directory "abc" with mc. Now hda9 is unmounted, of course. Can you give me a recipe about how to recover those files, please! Probably

Hi gang I just did a really stupid thing... I did fdisk and removed the ext3 partition on my 500GB external USB drive, thinking I was working on a usb stick instead. ugh. then I did 'mkdosfs' on it. ugh ugh. Before messing with it any more at all, what good ideas can you all suggest for trying to get my data back? Please don't tell me it's all gone (though I"m afraid it

Hi there: > ps: my little suggestion: if we add some parameters at smb.conf like > protected dir = /home/share, /home/user1 ; > trashcan dir = /smbtrash ; It seems that implementation of such parameter has some difficulties and eventuates reduction on performance (e.g. handling "protected dir"s and "trash dir" on the different devices like /dev/hda1

I`m sorry to post that topic again, but i propose to implement a way to recover information deleted in ext3 (undeletion) in my graduation class, and i want to know your opinion and suggestions about that. I read about that at linux kernel mailing list and somebody said something about do that in vfs and it will be aplied to all filesystems. What do you thing about it ? ps.: sorry about my

Hi, I undelete an entire directory /var/www/html/* under RH 7.3 under ext3 . Is there an utility to recover the data ? Thanks in advance.

Having just spent a day trying to recover a deleted ext3 file for a friend, I'm wondering about this way of maintining undelete information in ext3, like is done for ext2: The last step in the deletion process would be to put back the (previously zeroed) block pointers. Since it gets logged to the journal, I _think_ that this should be safe. The worst that would happen is that, if the plug
