sorry, there is no way.

- If it was text then you can search for it on the disk device, eg. "strings /dev/hdax" (x = the partition you deleted it from)
- If you have a deleted file still open you can restore it with /proc/<pid>/fd/ (cat the file-descriptor to a new file)

With logging you mean journaling? This only helps to keep the FS in a consistent state. You can not rescue data with it.
