Ixthusdan Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Google found this link but I have no experience with this software. Unfortunately , other products that are available cost money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 ix, the product on your link does not seem to support reiserfs. this link seems to provide some feedback on how to do it but still gives no guarantees. ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Overwritten or removed? Either way, your chances are pretty poor, and I know no software capable of recovering from reiserfs, leaving your only hope to be a professional data recovery service.

Patkos Csaba Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Thanks for all your replies. After all the datas were recovered from another backup. Anyway, I had no succes recovering the overwritten archive. It seemes impossible. That's it. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel_uk Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Overwritten if that the case, for any file system, this is the end, is it not? Heard of recovery that can look at the remanant magnetic field so even if file is overwritten then there is still something there. Do not know if this is a folk story! I suppose the magn field takes more room than is really necessary for 1 bit, so with the right magnetic probe you can do some work looking around where each bit is. Link to reiser look excellent Was going to suggest dd, ddrescue and foremost (in the sense that 1st thing to do is to make a backup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I use a recovery service for data that I cannot recover in simple ways. The service can get anything that has not been obliterated by a write. Even a format and partition can be recovered, as long as the drive was not zeroed in the process. ;) (That is why, when a client asks for full erasure of a drive, I zero the entire drive.)
