debugfs was designed to work on ext2 filesystems. What type filesystem does the deleted file reside on?

Suppose the file system is ext2, ext3, or raiserfs, is it possible to use the debugfs tool or ext3grep?

I have posted here a solution for ext3 using debugfs to get the inode, and extrgrep to undelete the file. I hope it helps.

1. run debugfs to the location of files and list all files.
# debugfs $HARDDISK
debugfs> cd /lost/directory
debugfs> ls -d
<INODE> ... deleted_files_are_enclosed_in_<_>
INODE

2. restore using ext3grep
# ext3grep $HARDDISK --restore-inode INODE
