Recovering deleted files in Ubuntu with ext4 filesystem

Recently, I deleted some files by mistake in a Ubuntu machine with an ext4 fs. These notes document the steps I took to get them back.

Important

  • this procedure assumes that the partition that contained the deleted files is different from the root partition, as that was the scenario with which I had to deal (deleted files were in my home dir). The procedure needs that the partition that contained the files is unmounted, so if the deleted files were in the root partition, the process would be a bit different (e.g. storing the fs journal in a USB stick, using a live CD/USB to boot and issue the commands, etc.)
  • if something is not clear, you need more information, etc. check the sources below

With that out the way, let's begin.

IPython startup script to detect and inject VIRTUAL_ENV's site-packages dirs.
"""IPython startup script to detect and inject VIRTUAL_ENV's site-packages dirs.
IPython can detect virtualenv's path and injects it's site-packages dirs into sys.path.
But it can go wrong if IPython's python version differs from VIRTUAL_ENV's.
This module fixes it looking for the actual directories. We use only old stdlib
resources so it can work with as many Python versions as possible.
