Hi,
linux is a multi user, when you deleted a file and if you want
to recover it, reboot the machine to single
user mode, and then do the following ( if you have not
rebooted the machine to single user mode,
while the other user writing some file, it may be written to that place
).
grep -b 'search-text' /dev/partition > file.txt
OR
grep -a -B[size before] -A[size after] 'text'
/dev/[your_partition] > file.txt
- This method is ONLY useful if deleted file is text file.
If you are using ext2 file system, try out recover command..
- this we can use only when we are using ext2 file system,
