Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The file system type is xfs. And I found xfsdump/xfsrestore can undo the remove.
Hm, are you sure you can use xfsdump/xfsrestore for this?
I use dd to copy the partition as one image file. How do I mount the image as read-only device? Then I can try to recover the deleted files/directory anytime.
Mount the image with the option '-o ro' as read-only.
Depending on the kind of data you removed you could use 'testdisk' or 'photorec' to recover. Make sure to only use a copied image to test.
Regards, Simon
