Hi all, Okay, I know this is a long shot, but I might as well ask and see if there is anything else to try. I recently lost some pictures because when importing into F-Spot, I accidentally selected not to copy the pictures to the hard drive. Now the F-Spot database references the files on the flash card, which has been erased and the files overwritten (I tried recovering from the flash card, no luck). I've noticed that when doing an import in F-Spot, it copies the files over to the hard disk during the import. If you hit cancel or change the copy option, it deletes the files. So, for a short time, the files *were* on my hard disk (or, at least in the buffer cache). Of course, I've been using my system for a couple days now (including a couple of reboots), so the data may be gone. But I don't want to give up unless there is just no hope. I am using LVM at the base and then ext3 as my filesystem on Fedora 9 x86_64. Does anyone know of anyway where the data from these pictures might still be around somewhere on the disk? I tried debugfs using a System Rescue CD live CD (I'm not sure where my Fedora DVD is). and saw the directory the files were in using ls -d. However the inode listed now belongs to another file, so it looks like there is no easy way to get to the directory information to possibly find the files in the directory. Is there maybe something in LVM that might still have blocks (extents?) from the files hanging around? Any ideas?
