Recover ext4 file

Question

How to recover recently deleted file from ex4 partition?

Mashine hosts Open SUSE 11.2 (kernel 2.6.31)

Answer 1

Try this: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/

Answer 2

You can also use the tried-and-true testdisk/photorec. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

It is on SystemRescueCD.

FIRST, though, umount that harddrive! the more writes you to do it (including simple timestamp updating, etc.), the less chance you have of recovering the file.
