Which filesystem do you use?

ext2 has had some success in this area...

Be very careful not to do TOO much activity on that drive for a while, at least until you give up or succeed.

Cool

mount, df, cat /etc/fstab ...

All these commands should report your type of filesystem, simply type:
mount
And it should tell you

Cool

No worries, still possibility, ext3 is simply ext2, journaled. Check these sources (dug them up for ya) and see if anything helps:
http://www.linux-backup.net/undel.gwif.html

http://www.linuxsecurity.com/feature...forensics.html

Hopefully one of them'll work

Good Luck!

Let us know how it goes.

Cool

Thanks for your help. I was able to quickly recreate the files. Luckily I had the same distro loaded, and had not done much to the original stock configs, except for several VirtualHosts.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply! It's time for a beer.
