Hello, Basically, I deleted a bunch of files from a JFS partition accidently, and I was wondering if there was a way to undelete the data? I did have backups of the most critical data, but I would like to recover the other information.
Once I realized my mistake, I immediately unmounted the JFS partition in hope that something could be done. I don't have a very detailed understanding of how the JFS filesystem operates, but I know that some filesystems have an undelete mechanism. I had some ideas, but I don't know if any of these are feasable: 1) use the JFS journal to roll back all transactions past a certain time index? 2) alter the inodes of deleted files from "deleted" to "not-delected"? (I think this is how undelete utilities for other filesystems (such as ext2) work.) Any suggestions would be greatly appretiated. Thank you in advance.
