Hi,
  I am just wondering if there is a way out for this problem..

I have a file say s.avi open in some multimedia player(or any other file open), then at command prompt I mistakenly delete or overwrite it. (Linux allows this, and will keep it playing as well, but cannot be used again, once the file handle releases it). So, till the time it is open, though the i-node entry is removed, can i recover the file? lsof is also listing the file, but how to recover that?

Thanks and regards
