[PLUG] Recovery 2.5GB of deleted files


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

So, I'm having an "OMG, NO!" Moment. Last night I had a 2.5 GB of
files on my debian testing samba server accidentally get deleted. I
didn't have backups because I was working on cp/mv'ing things to a
directory layout I was happy with first before putting them to a data
DVD for backup.

Currently the machine is powered down so that nothing can be written
to disk over the affected areas. The files are on a 400GB 3ware RAID5
ext3 partition. Before giving up last night, I tried 'recover', but
the filters I tried didn't recover anything. Is there anything about
ext over Raid that would prevent data recovery?

Right now, it's taking everything not to curl in a ball on the floor
and suck my thumb while crying, "Oh my God... Oh my God... Oh my
God..." But instead thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas that
might help.
