Agreed. If the fs_sync() has already occurred, and data , even zeros or null
space, have replaced the original contents, I don't see how you could
actually get "all" of the data back, but perhaps the part which hasn't been
over-written, if the full extent of the contents weren't affected, could be
intact.
