Recovering Deleted Files on ReiserFS3?

Posted by Cliff on from the who-said-unix-doesn't-need-an-undelete dept.

DarkSarin asks: "I have a rather serious problem: I managed to accidentally delete some files (rather important ones at that!) while trying to back them up to cd (I was using a GUI burning software that will remain nameless for now). How do you recover accidentally deleted files in Reiserfs? This thread (started by me) indicates that you can't recover them. Note that I had found a way to rebuild the tree, but that didn't work. It seems odd to me that you wouldn't be able to recover accidental deletions, but that really does seem to be the case. Help? Please?"

    (No, that's not really a troll. Human error happens.)

    It's really easy. You just restore from backup.
