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 uses an InteligentScan technology and flexible parameter settings to provide the fastest and most reliable file recovery. It creates image files for an entire hard drive, logical disk or its part.

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.
