Re: recover deleted file

Depends on the kind of file.

You can always:
1. reboot the system into single user mode, mount the fs readonly (important to not overwrite data you want to recover)
2. dd the partition and into a file
3. find the content of the deleted file in the dump

I was able to recover a complete codebase i deleted accidentally that way a long time ago.

Good luck
Michael
