hi there, when reinstalling linux I did reformat the wron partition. it was formated with ext3 and now ext4. I am looking for tools to recover the lost data. mainly emails and such (for the "really" important data I do have a recent backup)
I think you have not any chances to recover your data from a freshly formatted partition since when you do a formatting, all data present on disk are canceled.
Not really, the data is there (really erasing all data means overwriting everything, and that takes a lot of time; however, mkfs is fast). What is lost is the metadata, the index listing where is stored what. However, as to recover lost data... Dunno. Grepping on the entire device? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
