best bet: restore from backups recovering deleting files is very difficult. if the filesystem is ext2/ext3 you could run debugfs(I think). there are also some scripts available to help automate file recovery. But unless your files are REALLY important and are worth you spending a long time(hours, maybe days) trying to reconstruct files from recovered inodes(assuming the entire data set from the file can be recovered) then it's best just not even trying. I read somewhere, that filesystem space that was recently deleted is the first space that's re-allocated. not sure if it is true or not, or if it applied to the linux filesystems or not..for some reason it stuck in my head. I've tried to recover files in the past to no avail. there is a way to help future deletions, search freshmeat, but that won't help you if the software wasn't running at the time of the deletion. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
