Is there a war to recover them in SuSE 10?
Hope you have backups, otherwise they are gone.
Unless they are JPEG images, then you can use the recoverjpeg package to try a recovery. Works pretty good.
Google is your friend.
A google for 'linux file recover' found at least this and many other links.....
Or if they are text, and you have a big enough partition: dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/mnt/hda3_partition_image.img bs=5M I think the optimal block size is about half the rate the data is copied per second. I've not tested this thoroughly, though. then (much later) strings /mnt/hda3_partition_image.img > /mnt/hda3_partition_image_strings.txt grep -i "stuff I want" /mnt/hda3_partition_image_strings.txt | less I had to do this a week or so ago due to HDD failure :-( It took 16 hours to read the 8Gb disk because there were so many read errors. I did get back the two files I needed, though. Fortunately all the copies of the file had the same beginning and ending so I could write a quick script to pull all the copies out then diff them to find the newest. I learnt my lesson, and have set up RAID 1 and a backup cron job that copies the files to an unprivileged user account on another machine that in turn will be backed up to tape. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
