I am getting the error
"ls_deleted_inodes: Ext2 file too big while calling ext2_block_iterate"
when I run the "debugfs /dev/hda1 lsdel" command.  Is there any way 
around this that anyone knows?  My ext2 filesystem is on a 10gig drive 
and I should hope that wouldn't be too big for the filesystem but I 
guess it seems to be afterall.  Please provide any info which may be 
helpful.  I accidentally deleted thousands of files and am trying to use 
a mini howto called Ext2fs-Undeletion from linux.org's website.

Sincerely,
Paul Ascoli
