I was reading a how-to about recovering deleted files http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html the first step in the recovery process is to find out the deleted inodes. I want to try it on my machine, so I first deleted some irrelevant files on my root partition and then ran debugfs, opened my root partition device node read-only, but the "lsdel" command gave me nothing. does that mean nowadays the ext3 filesystem no longer keeps recently deleted inodes around?
