Hi! I'm in Zope for more than 2 years, but It never happened to me. I was cleaning my var/ directory in my production Linux RH with ext2 box and trying to delete Data.fs.old, I deleted Data.fs. ( ough!!! ) The system asked me if I was sure, and I said Yes! (is there anybody that thinks twice before pressing the Y key?) Fortunately I should have a backup from yesterday that I'm trying to recover (it will last a bit...), but the system is still running. I did a .zexp export of 250 Mb just in the case... and it worked! Great!! Why? The data must be somewhere, what points me that maybe, there is still a chance to get the file back. (I haven't restarted the ZServer...) Any hint? Or... I'd better leave it alone and replace it with my backup copy? (I'm not root in the machine, maybe he could do something?) Thanks!
