Debugfs: undeleting files

[MyWorld]

I posted something like this ages ago on here, so here is another tutorial on restoring deleted content on Linux ext3 & ext4 partitions. By no means a simple task, but it can be done!

Undeletion means restoring files which have been deleted from Linux ext3 file system using rm command. Deleted files can be recovered on ext3 file systems using the debugfs program. This quick tutorial describes how to recover a file that was recently deleted using nothing but standard Linux command line utilities.

Now this should work equally well on ext4.
