But you should do a 'ls -lRi /' here and than - otherwise you wouldn't
know which inodes to recover.

And on many distributions you need to recompile mc becouse this feature
isn't compiled in (tip: If you just lost data on / - recompile mc on
another partition!) ...

But IMHO file recovery works much better useing the debugfs utility (it
has such a nice command-line interface :-).
