Re: Retrieval

[kaushal]

hi ankit,
	use midnight commander to recover the file(s).One should do this as
quickly as possible since the file has been deleted.Infact the partition
should be unmounted immediately and remounted in read-only mode.

all the best.

Hi Ankit, following link will guide you how to undelete files on linux. Its
easy to undelete small files, I have tried and it works. Never tried with a
long file.
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html

Hope this solves your problem.
Enjoy

Hi, ankit jain:

  The syntax of the command is 'umount' rather than 'unmount'.
Yes, you can 'umount' an entire partition and, actually,
you must 'mount' and 'umount' entire partitions.

  If the partition where the deleted files existed was '/',
then you can (restart the system and) change the mount of
the partition to be 'ro'; read only. This will keep the data
area from being written over.  I think that there is a
command to "re-mount ro" a partition, so you man not need
to restart your system.

  You may choose to shut down the system and reboot using
your distribution install or a recovery CD-ROM disk or any
other recovery media.  Using a boot media created from a
KNOPPIX.iso is a popular way to recover data from many a
operating system and distribution; even M$-Windoze.

Perhaps,
  if your '/' partition contained the deleted file and
  it was mounted as partition /dev/hda1 and
  its type of filesystem was second extended:

mount -t ext2 -o remount,ro /dev/hda1 /

would be syntactically correct.

I hope this helps,  Chuck

Re: retrieval

[Peter]

Do a google for safedelete.

DESCRIPTION
       safedelete  provides  a way to safely delete files so they
       can be undeleted on demand.  safedelete `deletes' files by
       copying  them to a safedelete directory which is specified
       at install time.  Files processed by safedelete are  given
       a  new  unique  filename  after  they  are  placed  in the
       safedelete directory.  This allows multiple copies of  the
       same  file to be safedeleted without having to worry about
       collisions with existing files.

Regards

Re: retrieval

[Ohadi, Hamid]

I've noticed that some distributions have the --interactive option
switched on by default and therefore the less would be the chance of
removing a file by mistake. I was wondering if it's possible to do 
that in SuSE as well or not.

Re: retrieval

[joy merwin monteiro]

its really a trivial thing..... just alias rm to rm -i in your
.bashrc

if you have deleted it one bruteforce method to retrieve it (if it was
a text file)
is to run 'strings'  on the partition that had the file, catch all output
and sift through it to find your data (might be possible, a friend of
mine had tried it...)

regards, 
Joy.M.Monteiro
