Hello,
Note that the files contents itself are still on the disk if they haven't
been overwritten by later disk operations. If you do not have a backup and
you know what you are looking for, you can use commands such as "grep" or
"strings" over the disk partition. You can find explanatory pages on the
Internet about that, such as
http://bluesmoon.blogspot.com/2004/08/undelete-in-freebsd.html.
(And if you don't want to take any chances, there are companies specialising
in data recovery.)
Regards,
Vesselin.

Subject: Re: urgent: I just rm-r a directory

Thanks to all how had replyed to me :)
I'm from a dos/windows world so I was hoping for an "undelete utility" On
fat partitions data is not deleted, it's just flag as deleted, so I though
it was the same for freebsd.
Seems like I'll have to call the company that store our tapes offsite to
recover :)
Thanks to all

Help please :(

if you don't have back ups of the directory concerned, i'm sorry to inform
you that you won't be able to recover it. a word of advise, at least make
the rm with -i switch to make it interactive, that way it will ask you
first
before deleting, good thing though it's not your "/" you deleted :D
