Heh, I figured someone would ask that question.  The answer is, for the
most part, no, it can't.  When you delete a file the directory entry is
freed; ffs2recov doesn't know how to recover it and in fact it may not
_be_ recoverable.  If it is at all, fsdb might be your best bet.  On the
other hand, you might also shoot your own foot off. :-)
