Thanks for your answer. Not true. There are utilities available, and I've seen more than one HOWTO on this subject. Use google. Is anyone aware of an approach to get some kind of soft deletion functionality on freeBSD. I mean, it's not extremely unique to be able to get files back after a deletion, even windows has features for this since long time. CVS, or other version control system. Backup. Intelligent file management. It's rather interesting to note that the Windows world focuses on recovering from mistakes _after_ they happen, whereas the Unix world focuses on working in such a way that mistake recovery will be trivial. Windows - Oops, I screwed up, let me publish the crazy things I had to do to recover from my mistake. Unix - I'm going to do this important stuff. Before I start, I'm going to assume that the fact that I'm human means there's a good chance that I'll make mistakes and corrupt or lose things, so I'll take steps from the get-go to make it easy to backtrack when that happens.

I mean, it's not extremely unique to be able to get files back after a deletion, even windows has features for this since long time. the easiest thing to do would be to prepare for the 'next time'. 1) create a 'garbage' directory wherever you believe it would make the most sense. 2) create an alias within your .cshrc (or bash, or zsh, etc) which, when 'rm' is invoked, uses 'mv' to move the file to your 'garbage' dir. to my knowledge, this is pretty much the same approach used by windows, gnome, and kde. this link should get you started: http://www.cee.odu.edu/uclhd/uclhd_unix_undelete.php hope this helps. cheers, epi __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
