Via `reiserfsck --rebuild-tree`, you can also do that for ReiserFS partitions. Have worked very reliable for me. Only problem is that it doesn't always recover the filename and/or the directory structure (depending on how long it is ago that you have deleted it).



Just don't do this if you've at some stage backed up another reiserfs filesystem inside your reiserfs filesystem with 'dd'.

the rebuild tree trick mistakenly sees entries in the dd'd copy as being files in the parent file system, and then sprays them all over your drive.


Better than burying them off in the woods somewhere.
