I think it's goodbye data if you've done an rm -rf.

One can still use the grep technique.
From the FAQ :
"Your only hope is to "grep" for parts of your files that have been
deleted and hope for the best."
Well, I once deleted few files using rm -f and was able to recover it using the
grep technique.
Basically you grep for a particular string (that you know is unique to the file
you deleted) on the entire partition, somthing like
grep -A400 -B400 'unique_string' /dev/your_partition > recover
this will save all the data along with 400 lines before the string
and 400 lines after the string into the 'recover' file.
I know this is a very painful method but if the data is that important, one
has to do it :)
