Well, all was going while as I did a new install so as to get my
partitioning right. I'd backed up everything I needed to back up, and even
restored a goodly portion of it. Then, stupid me not thinking because it
was quite late at night, I deleted the backups and then rm -rf'ed the dir.
Now, my brain fart lapsed long enough for me to stop the rm quickly, but I
still lost 499 files. I promptly unmounted that file system, and used dd
to grab the whole damn thing and put a copy on a different system. I've
been through the Ext2-undeletion mini-howto, but I've only managed to
recover about half of those files, and those only the ones smaller than 12
blocks. Anything larger doesn't seem to work too well. There are some
files in there that I MUST recover. Does anyone have any ideas how I can
go about that? They're only text files that I need to save if that makes a
difference.
