I fallowed suggestions of "list" to recover deleted files using debugfs and 'mc' tool,but those are working for ext2 file system

recover ext3fs ? is there any chance still left?
Otherwise i will forget this topic as 'nate' suggested.
ext3 is just ext2 with a journaling feature. You should be able to simply use an ext3 filesystem as if it were an ext2; as far as I know it is even possible to mount an ext3 disk as ext2, if you don't want the journaling.
But you don't take advantage of the journal-information. Maybe that's what he was thinking of? I don't know if there are any commercial tools out there that can do this. From memory I can only tell there are tools from e.g. Ontrack that restore from ext2 - but haven't heard about tools using the "extended features" of ext3. Well it should be possible to use ext2-tools anyway as a first step - as Jan proposed.
