It *should* work the same, though the the last time I tried such a
recovery from and ext3 filesystem, ext3 made it particularly hard cause
it zeros most of the inode on delete (including ext3_inode->i_block[]).
Ext2 leaves much more information behind.
You could try with the undelfs feature in Midnight Commander, but first
be sure to mount the filesystem read-only in order to avoid any further
changes.
