#1 undelete all files; static build
I was working on a file server and typed "rm -rf" when I shouldn't
have, thus deleting some files that I thought were copied. I then had
to undelete every file, which was quite difficult, as e2undel is not built
to be scripted. I had to make it ignore that input was not coming
from a terminal, and suppress the terminal color codes, so that I could
make it undelete all the files. Currently it requires to pick one user ID,
one time interval, and one file at a time to restore. I'd like to be able to
say "all" to any or all of those questions. This will make it a lot easier
to recover from unintended "rm -rf".
Also, the system was an old one, 99% full before I deleted the files,
and had no ext2 libraries. I didn't want to risk overwriting deleted
files with the libraries, so I built it staticly on another box and copied
it. Could you make it easier to do this without hacking the Makefile?

Same problem here. An "all" option would be really great... also, it would be great if somebody could give me a hint how to undelete my mail archive (42000 files) without such an option. Anyway, thank you for this tool! mbelow@antithese.de
