XFS file recovery after an accidental 'rm -rf <dir>'
Posted: 17 Sep 2012, 14:31
Hello All,
Today I had executed the much feared 'rm -rf <dir>' command, on a few data taking machines. What I lost was ~1.5 TB of large files (each 640 MB), on a 8TB-RAID0 device, running XFS.
On googling, I stumbled across TestDisk, and have started a deep search on the disks. I guess this is going to take a day or so to complete the search.
Does anyone here have had success in recovering a large number of deleted files on a XFS volume?
Cheers,
Ramesh
