Ext3 file recovery

[Reprinted] source of the original article:

I met at work, checked online articles, and found that few actually passed, it was really angry. I found the software and performed a practical operation to ensure stable recovery.

Compile the program and test the program. After all the tasks are completed, start the recovery process.
My directory is/Data Partition. I first formatted the partition. I put a file in the root directory and a file in a subdirectory.

Now delete the LS file and zcat under the bin
[Root @ localhost ~] # Rm/data/ls
RM: Remove regular file '/data/ls '? Y
[Root @ localhost ~] # Rm/data/bin/zcat
RM: Remove regular file '/data/bin/zcat '? Y
[Root @ localhost ~] # Ls-La/data/ls/data/bin/zcat
Ls:/data/LS: no such file or directory
Ls:/data/bin/zcat: no such file or directory
If the file does not exist, we can restore it.
First, unmount the partition.

Confirm uninstallation and use ext3grep to restore.

Check whether all files are restored to the restored_files directory. The size is the same.
