recovering deleted file
Hi everyone, I just managed to delete a file that I desperately need to regain. The file is called 'index.old': Is there anyone who could show me how to recover this file? Many thanks -- Nick Wilson // www.tioka.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I bring this up only because of several months ago, a friend vaped a folder that was on an ext3 fs. He couldnt get it back. Any ideas on this?

A ggogle search will turn up some HOWTOs using the ext2 file system tools and some other software. Ext3 is another issue. It seems like one oght to be able to play the journal, then remount the filesystem as ext2. But I've never seen any instructions and I could be way off base on that. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

A ggogle Well, I'm on ext3 but I've just tried The Coroners Toolkit, which whilst pretty neat, didn't work for me. I got it to dump all the stuff on /hda3 (can't remeber exactly) into a file (18G) then Lazurus couldn't open it! Damn! Oh well, it's just an php file that will take me less time to re-write than messing with complicated software ;-) Much thanks to Willem Van der Walt for sending me the toolkit ;-) -- Nick Wilson // www.tioka.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
