>> Which filesystem? >I am using ext3. I do not understand why this matters.
How a filesystem manages its unallocated space is up to it - there is no specification for this. This is one reason people say you do not need to defragment ext2/3 filesystems - because they are clever about how they lay out the disk. When you delete a file, the space it occupied becomes unallocated, available for reallocation to other files as needed. To undelete a file, you need to know the internals of the filesystem structure to recover the contents - if it is still available at all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
