Where are all my files? <whimper>
For the time when you hit return on
Do Not Do This@Anytime home$ rm -rf *
and then shriek "Oh, good gracious me, what a silly billy" (or words to that effect) there's <a href="http://carlo17.home.xs4all.nl/howto/undelete_ext3.html>ext3grep</a>.
You are still deep in a world of pain and toil, but all is not lost. I did this a couple of years ago (I thought I was in a subdirectory, was in fact in my home directory) and eventually I lost hardly anything, although rm had been running for about five seconds before I reached the shriek stage. Now I have ext3grep installed on a live USB stick, but I do lots of backups...
