R-Linux is a free file recovery utility for the Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 FS file system used in the Linux OS and several Unixes. R-Linux recovers files:
- Removed by virus attack, power failure or system crash;
- After the partition with the files was re-formatted, damaged, or deleted;
- When the partition structure on a disk was changed or damaged;
- From disks with bad sectors.

Situation: a data partition from WD mybook world which got accedentally repartitioned. Hardware: p4 2.4ghz box with 2gb ram, 2tb sata disk with image of the defect disk, ubuntu. Initial scan goes OK. 4 hours, searching only video (family video). That is OK, but then comes "reading pass" that takes another 2 hours. AFTER that reading pass, program becomes insanely unstable!! Everything WITHIN the program - freezes. According to top, system has enough memory (6gb swap is on). Other three times, program simply CRASHES. I have run cpuburn and memtest on this hardware - its rock stable. I think R-studio just DOES NOT freaking care about "free linux-only" version.
Photorec does the job.
