I don't think he's talking about a dead partition.
He has done an 'rm
-rf' which, according to the author of ext3, is
unrecoverable. I had
posted a link earlier on this thread regarding
this.
Point noted. But if rlinux could recover deleted files from a busted partition, why can it not do so from a partition that's working.
A dead partition or a corrupted partition table will still have intact files in them whereas deleted files have their property records destroyed thus rendering them difficult to recover.
For example, if an area map is destroyed, the individual house records are still available but if the house records are destroyed, the area map is blank.
R-Linux works on debugfs that reads file inodes and their block records but I need a sniffer that can read pariah blocks and try to patch files from them.
