undelete for ext2
Hi All,
It was pleasant afternoon when I realised that maybe, today would be
a good day to move the /var partition just to / so I can use the
extra space elsewhere and / had a couple of hundred megs not being
used. I went into singe user mode and then,
cd /
mkdir var2
cd /var
mv * /var2
after churning around for a while, it gave up and told me that there
was no space. I gave up on moving var the var parition and before
thinking gave
cd /
rm var2 -r
Thus started my adventure into ext2 undeletion software.
I have already tried recover which i pulled off of freshmeat.net
http://freshmeat.net/projects/recover/
it seems to find the deleted inodes and then tries to dump them in a
specified folder which leaves me with a lot of dumpxxxx files -
anybody with any clues as to what I can do with these files to put
them back where they belong ? or maybe even a better undelete
sofware.
Any help appreciated.
Thanx
Shri
PS - running sid with 2.4.7
