I have to undelete/unformat harddisk

[yopisuwanto]

Hi All,

I am newbie this forum, I have problem with my server.

In my server have two harddisk (1. os centos, 2. data)
in harddisk data, I create partition with ext2 and format with mke2fs.
I mount harddisk data to /home/it/sharing and I create sharing data with samba and the server working well and many user can safe their data to /home/it/sharing and many data from user in this hardisk

I don't know what happen with my server, suddently data user in harddisk data is empty.

What kind I solve this problem for getting data user back

Maybe, I have to :
1. Undelete this harddisk (but I don't know howto make it)
2. Unformat this harddisk (but I don't know howto make it)
3. Or another way

How can I solve this problem ?, All opinion/way will be appreciate.

Thank You All

Hi yopisuwanto,
If your File system is ext2 then it will be easy to recover them - e2undel as pointed by HROAdmin26

If it's ext3FS - then Yes...that major drawback...But i have written ext3carve to overcome this limitation of giis. ext3carve may *corrupt * disk -- gET iT i sAY .giis - ext3 File Undelete Tool
