I managed to accidentally delete all of my files.... via samba....

luckily i have them all go to the Trash....

however... they all seem to have lost their directory structure....

is there any way to "undelete" all the files while keeping the old directory structure?

please tell me there is....

thanks in advance...

hopefully this is the proper way?

Trash -r DIR/FILE : recover single file to directory DIR


looks like centos doesn't have that program though... and yum didn't find anything....

More details please.

Did you delete them from a Windows client?

If so, you should be able to simply "restore" them and they'll go back to where they belong.

yes i did this using samba,

i am moving files off my server for an upgrade and since it's rather large i am moving it to several different drives, arrays, etc

somehow when i went to delete the directory i had just transfered... it reversed my selection and instead deleted everything BUT my highlighted directory... never happened to me before, especially since there is no shortcuts for "invert selection"

anyhow... luckily in my samba config I have all the deleted files going to root/.Trash first... so at least i can easily restore them...

problem is I really need them to be back in their old directories, and endless amounts of subdirectories...

i'm running on centos 4.4, gnome...

hopefully this is enough info...

thanks
