i wasn't suggesting that simply changing the filesystem back to
ext2 would recover deleted files.  i was responding to the point
that a number of the file undeletion utilities work only on ext2,
not ext3.  so, as a first step, converting back to ext2 would at
least allow someone to try those utilities.
