From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I found these: Scalpel - but no longer maintaned. PhotoRec - but I don't know how well it works with Btrfs.

Maybe you have something better.

I have used PhotoRec in the past (~10 years or so) when I needed to restore pictures from a SD-Card (FAT). It worked pretty well. If there are more modern solutions I would also like to get to know them.

I tried it yesterday with SystemRescue, but nothing found that I wanted.
