Hi,
The /srv partition is the largest on this machine and the testdisk
recovery image of this
partition (~170G) is too large to fit anywhere on the hard drive.
I'm not pretty sure, but testdisk allows you to generate an iso image of
whatever you want, i seem to remember:

There is a tool called debugfs, with it you can get a list of deleted
files `lsdel', and use the information to restore them with `undel'.
Although lsdel is no longer useful, I'm pretty sure the tool may help
you recreate a link to the existing inodes. I'd recommend reading the
man page.

I have just done the stupidest thing. I was freeing up (rm -rf) space
on what I thought was a storage directory (/srv), but I have now just
discovered that it contained a critical qemu image. The image is a W7
VM and is still running; it appears unaffected. The /srv partition
is the largest on th
