I'm sorry to say that "undelete" programs for the ext2 filesystem are few and far between. You could try using Google to look for "ext2 undelete" or something similar. I'm sorry to hear you lost some important stuff, I've been there myself and I feel you pain.
Good luck. |
There are a few threads about this on LQ - try a search for "undelete ext2" or "undelete ext3" or similar.
|
Also, if you have /home on a separate partition, umount it ASAP to avoid any possible writing to partition.
|
unfortunately, if its been up at all since the undelete, that data has a very high chance of being overwritten, and therefore unrecoverable
