Hi, I volunteer for a non profit - as my previous posts we have been getting hit by DDOS attacks (mainly UDP DNS, DNS server behind DD-WRT router) I tried all the iptable table drop comments I could find (both at router and at linux server) anyway make a short story short when I tried to delete a user I inadvertently deleted the users' home directory.

I tried to use extundelete but it just reported different errors even though it found the deleted folder.. ( i did unmount it was well so its not in use)

If someone could help me , as I am outside the country I would really appreciate and can even send you a paypal.

all the google results I tried just seem not to be working.

Have you tried PhotoRec? I haven't used it personally but I've heard that it works.

thanks everyone however PhotoRec just put everything in 1 folder and random file names.

do you have a suggestion for a more userfriendly recovery like Pandora?
