Thank you very much! recover worked fine, but it would be nice to have this mc feature working. I just filed bug #88862, so people can see it's a known problem. -Adam P.

Oh, excellent, cool, amazing! That's a really terrific utility! It totally automates the awful process from the ext2 recovery readme! I'm running potato, but "fakeroot apt-get -b source recover" (Build-Depends only on debhelper) built a working package that got the file I needed. I'll know in a little while whether it's completely intact... Thank you so much!! -Adam P.

Midnight commander undelete?
Greetings, [Please cc me in replies... Thank you.] I erased a file this morning on an ext2fs partition on a potato machine, and would like to recover it. So I looked through /var/lib/dpkg/available and found something promising-looking in mc. I installed, ran, read the instructions, and tried to cd /#debug:hdb1 but it kept saying no such file or directory. This despite the potato mc package description saying, "This version comes with undelete for ext2 filesystems compiled in." The mc "homepage" on gnome.org is totally useless, and everything else (e.g. the GNU page) points to it. The GNOME Documentation Project is totally useless for mc as well, and their maillist archives search function is broken for mc. So I searched the debian-user archives, and found a reference to /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/mini/Ext2fs-Undeletion.txt.gz but that howto is well over a year old and requires a program called "fsgrab" which isn't listed in potato/Contents-i386.gz. Oh well. At least now I think I have a couple of good inode candidates... Can anyone help me to properly use mc or any other undelete function? Thank you very much, -Adam P.
