Hello Jon.

Well you probably don't want to hear "restore from backup" so  think I'd
point you to the undelete howto that I've seen referenced here in the
past.   That, plus strong coffee and / or alcoholic beverages.

I don't think there'd be much difference between ext2 and ext3 as regards
recovery, other than the ext3 part makes the changes more secure (writes -
and by extension deletes? - would be commited to the file system in a
guaranteed fashion.)

Cheers,
