I accidentally removed a wrong folder using rm -rf, every tool I've tried tell me either I have no hard disk or that the filesystem is not found. When I type df I get :

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/simfs 25G 7.6G 18G 31% /

none 256M 12K 256M 1% /dev

But if I type debugfs -w /dev/simfs I get the error :

/dev/simfs: No such file or directory while opening filesystem

I'm using a VPS hosted by OVH, what's wrong with that filesystem ?

I have the same scenario/issue. To take the conversation a step further, I've also tried

tune2fs -l /dev/simfs

which outputs

tune2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
tune2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/simfs
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

You'll get the same invalid superblock error if you try to scan an entire disk eg /dev/sda
