rm -rf is a great utility.  Unless, of course, you're in the wrong
directory.  And so I ask, how can I go about recovering a directory that
became victim to the almighty rm -rf?

Some of the files have probably been overwritten, but I'm talking about 6
GB+ of files that were deleted.  Since it's on the /home partition, I can
only assume that < 1 MB of data has been written to the partition.  In
theory, the deleted inodes should still be out there.  Are there any
methods/utilities that can help me?
