According to Terry Lambert: > > The first thing to do is to find the inode of the file that was deleted. >From memory of Bach's "The Design of the UNIX OS", the inode should be the first on the free list, since he just deleted it. Or do things work differently on the Berkeley File System? Bach also mentioned that when you delete a file its data blocks are placed on the block free list in reverse order. Again I don't know if this applies to the Berkely File System, but if it's the case it could simplify the undeletion. Raju -- Raju M.
