recovering from the unthinkable
The excuse: Trying to get all my precious files from the usb drive after 10:00 PM. So, is anyone willing me to remind me of the name of the program that goes searching through a drive that has been the victim of the old rm -f and re-constructs the file system? I'm pretty sure I've used it before, when I lost an lvm volume once. Can't remember what it was called, and searching via google for disk recovery tools now returns a whole lot of links I sure wouldn't want to trust. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Shows up lots of useful stuff.

But, yum search undelete at the command line turned up extundelete, testdisk, and some other useful looking stuff in the Fedora repository.

Turns out it's in the Fedora repository, now, along with some other stuff I found when I took a clue from Terry and did a yum search undelete.

Re: recovering from the unthinkable
I believe tunefs has some ability to work this, though I've never personally attempted recovery with it. Another excellent set of tools comes from runtime.org. They have excellent tools for recovery both on Windoze and Linux, too. Good luck!!
