Hi List!
In an offlist reply someone recommended me ext4magic (see
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/ext4magic ).
Like magic it recovered complete directory hierarchies with filenames,
timestamps, even ownership and permissions for more than 300GB of the
deleted data.
I can recommend this to

a RAID sync with another partition onto it, which I realized after
about 3% completion). As a result the beginning of the ext4 partition
