Actually they are two separate tools. recover helps the user narrow down
the date files were deleted, thus creating a more precise list of their
deleted inodes. It does all the work for the user. e2recover uses output
from debugfs to retrieve a list of all deleted inodes and then stats
those through debugfs to find which ones could possibly form valid
blocks. It includes another utility, fsgrab, that is manually used with
the information e2recover provides to recover data.
