How recover was deleted files in FreeBSD? Help me Due to the nature of the UFS file system, please note that recovering deleted files may be a VERY complicated process, and there is no way to totally make sure it will be successful. Having such a problem myself (accidentally deleted a whole subtree with video files), I would suggest you try the famous "The Sleuth Kit" from ports (sysutils/sleuthkit). After installing it, you'll find useful information in /usr/local/share/doc/sleuthkit/ref_fs.txt which contains a kind of recipe on how to recover files. It describes in detail what you can try. In any case, do NOT continue using the disk in question, the risk that files to be recovered getting overwritten is present. Make a copy of the partition in question (using dd) and work with the copy only. The recoverdisk program (/sbin/recoverdisk) comes with the base system and should also be mentioned. There are also commercial products (that often offer a free trial version) that allow such kind of recovery. Maybe you can try "File Restore Professional" and later on purchase it (demo version at www.pcrecovery.com available). Good luck! PS.
