Yes. Maybe. Do *not* write to the disk. Preferably mount it only read-only if you have to. As long as you haven't written over it by accident, you can probably get most of the data back, though it's likely to take a fair bit of time and effort. The procedure's too long and involved to post here; look at the Ext2fs-Undeletion mini-HOWTO for more information. You'll find it in /usr/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/mini/Ext2fs-Undeletion.txt.gz, or, if not there, you can use the copy on my web server at: http://riva.ucam.org/doc/HOWTO/en-html/mini/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html (I'd recommend www.linuxdoc.org, but we seem to be having network problems here at the moment and it's easier just to recommend somewhere I *know* works ...) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
