            Well, if you can't get ffsrecov to work, there's always Wietse
    Venema's "The Coroner's Toolkit", which includes "unrm" and "lazarus"
    tools. See <http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/tct.html>.

            Of course, these kinds of things are never guaranteed to work,
    and if you have to install them on top of the filesystem you're
    trying to recover then odds are you're wiping out the very inodes you
    want to try to save.
