Subject: Question: Is it possible to recover deleted files from a healthy XFS filesystem?

Message-ID: <18512e-6818b200-1ab-59e10800@49678430> (raw)
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding XFS and file recovery.
Is there any method — official or unofficial — to recover deleted files from a healthy, uncorrupted XFS filesystem? I understand that XFS does not support undeletion, but I'm wondering if any remnants of metadata might still allow partial or full recovery, perhaps under specific conditions.
If anyone has insights, tools, or suggestions, I’d be very grateful.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Martin Safranek
