   Is there anybody who know how to retrieve files removed by th "rm" command ?

   A person in our laboratory, working on a SUN under UNIX 4.2, ran the command
"rm *" in his directory. The SUN's disk is divided in 2 partitions : "/"
and "/usr". The problem happened under "/usr".
   Since the files were destroyed, nobody has touch this partition.
   Is it possible to patch the directory file to reconsider the destroyed
files ?
   How can we proceed with the inodes table ?

   Thanks in advance.
