 |
|
I need some serious help. I had my reiserfs partition crap out on me earlier, so i booted off the livecd and ran fsck.reiserfs so i could recover my data. Everything worked fine. I found out where my home dir was on the restored partition, went there, and went to back it up into another parition. But I fucked up horribly. Instead of mv -rf home /mnt/bkup/ , I did rm -rf home /mnt/bkup !!!!
  
I NEED to recover my home partition or I"m totally fucked. For the love of pete, can anyone please help me?!?! I absoultely, possitively need to get the data back! the first thing I did when i realized i fucked up was unmount the partition, and remout as read-only.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! and please refrain from pointing out my obvious stupidy , I know i screweed up big time.
Thanks
-HJ

Seeing as the last release of that software, linux undelete, was in 1999, i doubt I should even bother with it. But thanks for the help!
Anyone else??

Yes, this should definitely be made a sticky. Linux systems are easy to fuck up badly (if you're root ), but on the other hand they can almost always be fully recovered.
This is a great tip, maybe it should be moved to Documentation, Tips & Tricks?
