| Hello everybody, I am working with gentoo operation. I deleted all files in /ect/ folder (rm -rf /etc/). Is it possible to recovery them? Could you suggest one way to recovery them? thank you so much |

toanhoi ... you should shutdown the machine immediately so that nothing further is written to disk. Then, dependent on what filesystem is in use, you can use a tool like sys-fs/extundelete (ext3/ext4) to try and recover the deleted files. I'd suggest using sysrescuecd and making an image of the disk for recovery.
Of course as you ask I assume there are no backups ... which would have saved you in such cases. Also, something like safe-rm could be used to prevent this from happening.

| Thank you for your help. From your suggestion, I think I must install gentoo again. it does not help option autofix,right?(that mean when I install, the system will scan missing files and autorecover(autofix)). |
