Is undelete available on opensuse? How do i recover some files that were
mistakenly deleted?
Generally if you delete files from Konqueror they end up in the trash
bin, and can be restored, unless you hold the shift key while pressing
the delete key. If you issued a rm filename from hte command line, I do
not know if these can be recovered. AFAIK if you delete a file from
inside an application, it too is toast.


Crap! I ran the rm from the command line and using reiser. Thanks for

In 24 years of using Unix/Linux, I have only ONCE rm'ed a file which I
didn't mean
to remove.

1. Use your head, instead of relying on (ALWAYS flaky) undelete mechanisms.
(undelete can NEVER guarantee that your file is available to be restored
anyways).

2. Do regular backups (NIGHTLY!). If you're not... well then, you
really don't
consider your files to be all that important -- kind of like buying a
house but NOT
purchasing insurance for it. Large IDE disk drives are cheap. An
external USB container
for an IDE drive runs in the $25-50 dollar range --- which means you
have no excuse
for not making a backup of your data on a regular basis.
