R-linux can see my folder list but recovers blank
inode files. The inodes have a block size of zero
bytes and that I feel is an indicator that my data is
gone forever. Without any block information, no data
can be recovered.
At least in vfat, I have successfully recovered
deleted files using pc inspector on 3 different hdds.
Ext3 does not seem to be a very good file system when
it comes to data recovery.
This brings up a question, for file recovery, which is
the best FS in linux?

Rony.
