HOWTO recover deleted files on an ext3 file systemCarlo Wood, Mar 2008
IntroductionIt happens to everyone sooner or later: a split second after you hit Enter you realizeyour mistake, but it's too late; you just deleted a valuable file or directory forwhich no backup exists. Or maybe you have a backup, but it's a month old...and in shock you see the past month flash before your eyes as you realize in painwhat you'll have to do all over again...
Fortunately, you remember that files are never really deleted, at mostoverwritten by new content. So, you remount the disk read-only as fast as possible.But now?
If you Google for "undelete ext3", almost every article you find will beusers asking if it's possible and the answer is every time: no.
The most frequently quoted passage comes from the ext3 FAQ itself:
Q: How can I recover (undelete) deleted files from my ext3 partition?
Actually, you can't! This is what one of the developers, Andreas Dilger, said about it:
In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after acrash, it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereasext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marksthe inode as "deleted" and leaves the block pointers |
