Subject: undelete still opened file
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:08:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081017120852.1f04dc36.taeuber@bbaw.de> (raw)
Hi there!
If this should be the wrong mailing list please excuse me but I didn't find any better suiting.
I just subscribed after unsuccessfully searching on the net for an answer to my question.
Is it possible to undelete an accidentally deleted file that is still opened by a process?
As far as I know the file is not really deleted as long there is a file descriptor connected to the file.
I thought about something in connection with /proc/####/fd/# .
Is there any chance to get the file back to normal?
- Linux 2.6.[12]x
- ext3 or nfs (should be independent of fs, wouldn't it?)
Thanks and best regards.
Lars
PS: Sorry for my english.
