lost data then, eh? 10K is just a little bit above what I can spend, although I was aware of the option :-) Thanks for the help anyways.

XFS reuses the freed blocks very fast you say? I'd think that on a striping raid array the blocks wouldn't be as quickly freed... Does this, in essence, mean that if you're stupid and don't back up your data, you lost it forever in xfs?

cheers

Try using grep and dd. I have used that before to rescue data. Unless it's binary data which is really hard to find back.

By the time you reboot the box the data may already have been overwritten. XFS reuses the just freed blocks very fast.
