Hi,
well, I just deinstalled the cvs daemon cvsd, and the author decided
that if deinstalled with --purge, not only the cvs repository, but also
its parent directory with all other subdirectories should be removed...
Brilliant idea, now everything I have ever programmed in my life is
lost, because the cvs repository was only one subdirectory among others
in a "projects" directory, which was also completely removed.
Now, before I start sending hate mails to the author/packager, is there
any way to recover deleted data from en ext3 filesystem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pull out the CD-R to which you backed up your project directory.
No, I'm not trying to be flippant. For the past 50 years, people/
organizations that don't make backups don't have any right to whine
about lost data.
Eve so, you should file a critical bug against cvsd, since the
deinstall "causes serious data loss".
