deleted a virtual machine with critical data under CentOS
Hi all,
I'm in a pretty messed-up situation, hope you can give me a hand.
I deleted by accident a folder containing a VMware server virtual machine, that contains most critical information. The host OS is CentOS 5.5, which I believe by default uses Ext3.
I shut down the PC intermediately after noticing this.
Is there any chance of recovering the files? Would they be able to mount to the same or another virtual machine?
I need to get this information somehow, there are no backups.
Which software can I use?
If anyone can help me recover this, you'll get a free book by amazon, you have my word.
I'm THAT desperate.

to determine if a particular host has failed and if the virtual machine needs to be reconfigured. The function pvm_notify() can also be
used to notify the caller that a host has failed.

C:
mstat = pvm_mstat( "msr.ornl.gov" );

CALL PVMFMSTAT( 'msr.ornl.gov', MSTAT )
ERRORS
These error conditions can be returned by pvm_mstat
