Some time ago, I had to recover from a total disk crash and it was possible to get back nearly all the data. However, it required a lot of googling and studying and was quite risky (I had nothing to loose back then, but I don't recommend it in your situation -- you should work on a copy if you want to try). I don't remember the names of the tools, but I was told by someone later, that the same would work on ext3. The bad thing was that it was not possible to reconstruct the *name* for tons of files and directories, so for many things, one had to be very clever in using grep. If there is no easier method, this is a way, but you have to judge if it's worth the trouble.
