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 At 20:34 2006-08-06, jan gestre wrote: On 8/7/06, Ian Lord [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I did a rm-r by mistake on a directory... any way to recover ?

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

Ian Lord [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I did a rm-r by mistake on a directory... any way to recover ? As has already been said, it's extremely difficult to recover an rmed directory. If you don't have backups, and the data is _very_ importation, immediately shut down the OS and turn off the system to avoid overwriting anything. It's possible that there's still enough data on the disk to reconstruct everything, but any time you write to the disk you could be destroying it. From there, the road to recovery is difficult and/or expensive. There are folks out there with the knowledge to recover a deleted directory, and there are some HOWTOs floating around the 'net, but it's an involved and time-consuming process. -- Bill Moran Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
