Heh, I figured someone would ask that question. The answer is, for the most part, no, it can't. When you delete a file the directory entry is freed; ffs2recov doesn't know how to recover it and in fact it may not _be_ recoverable. If it is at all, fsdb might be your best bet. On the other hand, you might also shoot your own foot off. :-) -- Frank Mayhar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
