Yep, normally you can't get the data back, especially if new files have been written to the drives AND the files were written over the old ones.
You have a slight chance, or big chance, depending on how many files have been written since deletion of files, and if ZFS tries to use space that was just freed or not... You could maybe try appealing to someone who knows these things well, as you might be able to find some software that can scan sectors and search for a known pattern of bytes. Example: If your gf knows that one of her needed docs contains an expression such as 'blah blah blah'... then you need to scan the blocks for that byte pattern. It's a long shot, and I don't know how to do that with ZFS file systems, but using this technique I managed to recover all my photo library from a failed Windows drive a few years ago using some software called GetDataBackNT. Good luck! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
