Fsck deleted something important ;(

Last night the battery cable from my laptop fell out and I guess it ran out of juice.
I woke up to find the machine off so I turned it on and plugged it up and noticed that
one of my sylpheed xml's was deleted but I can't remember which one and I don't see
any log files for fsck which is most important.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

check the lost+found directory on the affected partition (if it is ext2/ext3)

Hmm.. there's nothing in that directory but luckily I use mkstage4 every few days so I have the file.
Too bad I don't know which one it was ;(

You might also want to consider enabling full journaling. See codergeek42's excellent ext3 filesystem tips post.
