I have just done the stupidest thing. I was freeing up (rm -rf) space on what I thought was a storage directory (/srv), but I have now just discovered that it contained a critical qemu image. The image is a W7 VM and is still running; it appears unaffected. The /srv partition is the largest on this machine and the testdisk recovery image of this partition (~170G) is too large to fit anywhere on the hard drive.

Best option: 1) can I retrieve the deleted qcow image from a running instance of that image?
If I understood correctly the image file is still open, so MAYBE there's an open file descriptor inside /proc/$pid/fd that you can use to create a copy of the image somewhere else...?
