 ext3grep <partition> --restore-inode <inode> # inodes => files
 </code> Notes: "restore-all" failed while building stage2 cache with error "ext3grep: init_directories.cc:535: void init_directories(): Assertion `lost_plus_found_directory_iter != all_directories.end()' failed.". However doing a "ls inode" created this stage2 cache, and afterwards "restore-all" worked... but just restored everything on the disk even not deleted files/dirs, not taking into account the "after" option... But manually editing the stage2 cache to only keep files/dirs you want to restore then "restore-all" worked perfectly!
