Hi,

I tried out the thing what sharadchhetri had posted .It works fine for me too

Can any one help me on this to recover a deleted file using debugfs

Thanks,

I worked on this problem found that in ext3 and ext4 filesystem we can restore the file but it is not in readable format.So it has no use.
The case is found with text related file only.

On jpg and png file it was successfully restoring.

It seems it is better to restore the file with the help of tool.

Thank you sharadchhetri
