ext2 at least _can_ undelete files. the problem is searching for the specific file to undelete. The quick way: start mc (midnight commander) and in one of the menus you will find Undelete: it will search for deleted files, but they have no names, only inode numbers.. if you know the approximate size of the file, you can sort by size and use F3 to see every file and try to guess the right one..I used that and it worked fine.:-o ? really ?
I made a special test (on extra ext2 FS) before about one or two years, to check if it worx ... but it worked for relatively short files ONLY ! When I erased 700MB file, it starts to "undelete" it, estimated time was cca 1 minute (nice), but after 1 hour it was 1 hour 15 minutes. After 8 hours I canceled the test, because EST was still divergent and the result was in infinity :-(
The good news is, that "recover" see http://recover.sourceforge.net worked great with the same file :-)

PS. I do not know, what really worx proper on mc. Lets's try large ftp transports (all partition), mc needs tripple the time as standard ftp :-(
