Everything I've found says you can't undelete. The way I understand it is
the file name points to the inode. The inode is the file. The inode gets
deleted once the last hard link is removed. You would only be safe if there
were multiple hard links to the inode. Once the last hard link has been
removed - only remedy is a backup.

Subject: [EUG-LUG:1298] undelete?
Is there a way to undelete a file? Say, just after you typed 'rm
filename', and then you suddenly decide that you want to keep that
file. How can you get it back?
It just happened, so the file is still there, just the inode for that
file got removed, right?
Thanks,
Rob
