<EM>Picture this. You've spent the last three days with no sleep, no food, not
|
|
even a shower. Your hacking compulsion has at last paid off: you've finished
|
|
that program that will bring you world-wide fame and recognition. All that you
|
|
still need to do is tar it up and put it on Metalab. Oh, and delete all those
|
|
Emacs backup files. So you say <CODE>rm * ~</CODE>. And too late, you notice
|
|
the extra space in that command. You've just deleted your <EM>magnum opus</EM>!
|
|
But help is at hand. This document presents a discussion of how to retrieve
|
|
deleted files from a Second Extended File System. Just maybe, you'll be able
|
|
to release that program after all...</EM>
