On the weekend it happens that I accidentally deleted 1 TB of data (rm -rdf /mnt/lcq). We have no backup of the data (internal reasons of the university...) and it would be nice to get the data somehow back. After the delete the first step was to unmount the partion and this are the info's from the xfs_check program. meta-data=/mnt/lcq isize=256 agcount=32, agsize=9154978 blks = sectsz=512 data = bsize=4096 blocks=292959296, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=1 naming =version 2 bsize=4096 log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=32768, version=1 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks realtime =none extsz=65536 blocks=0, rtextents=0 after I did a cat /dev/sda1 | less I could see that some data are still exist and are not overwritten. So I think "all" what I have todo is some how get the journal back. Is there anyway or is all hope lost? Thx gert p.s. pleace CC me (wohlgemuth@ucdavis.edu) because I'm not a member of this mailing list.
