Guys,

I ran across a tool that may recover files on an ext3 filesystem after an 'accidental' delete (doesn't work on corrupted files, just deleted ones). Many may already know about this, but it was new to me so I thought I would pass it along:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html

There are a number of packages ext3grep packages built for openSuSE in factory/contrib and build service. Use webpin to locate them (unless you are using 11.3, then you have to use zypper because wepin doesn't work -- still)

Put this in the save file just in case you find yourself in a fix.

I've used this tool, and it works, mostly - but be warned that it doesn't always recover all of a file, just whatever it can find in the journal. For example I tested it on my music collection and a bunch of them lost the last minute or so.
