It's also in ports: sysutils/testdisk.
>From my "famous list of data recovery programs", something else
comes to mind which probably won't restore the previous state,
but could be used to obtain the data:
fetch -rR <device>
Also recoverdisk could be useful.
The ports collection contains further programs that might be
worth investigating; just in case they haven't been mentioned
yet:
ddrescue
dd_rescue
magicrescue
testdisk
recoverjpeg
foremost
photorec
fatback
Note that those also emphasize data recovery in the first place,
and some of them even work "without file system".
Then also
ffs2recov
scan_ffs
should be mentioned. And finally, the "cure to everything" is
found in The Sleuth Kit:
fls
dls
ils
autopsy
In worst case. Just in worst case.
