Give testdisk a try, it might not be able to
recover everything though, depending on what you've done to the fs after
you deleted the files.

Sort of, more so on SSDs but it's just harder to reconstruct because
SSDs writes are spread out as sectors get worn out much quicker. For

Generally, running 'rm' on a file means it's gone. It's the
specification of 'rm'. Expecting something different means you're doing
something wrong.

more buggy than ext3. The real difference is that ext4 al

No idea about the filesystems but on 32-bit architecture, you
shouldn't have any problems. Arch is using a different repository for
