Thanks in advance

testdisk and photorec. Packman has them packaged for up to 11.1, but don't
seem to have them packaged yet for 11.2, but the src.rpm rebuilds just fine
for me. It's also available in the buildservice, but only in someone's home:
project, so the usual caveats apply a little more strongly.


photorec did the trick. Thanks much and Happy New Year.
