Good morning,

What are my chances for restoring fs after 'rm -rf /' ?

Are there *ANY* existing tools to assist in such an adventure?

- There is an evidence that it was exactly that command issued ( it was 
    repeated after trapdoor was installed :-);  
- there is no backup tape avialable (drive died a couple of weeks ago).
- system was rebooted after the accident.
- disk layout and f/s parameters are known (journaled).

	*ANY* hints/ideas/pointers are most welcome 


With best regards
