Instead of executing the following command:
tar -zcvf file.tgz fileX
I executed the following instead:
tar -zcvf fileX fileX
I encountered the following message on the screen: tar: fileX: File shrank by 199917 bytes; padding with zeros
Now I see garbage data in fileX. Even when extracting the file fileX, I still see garbage.
i.e. tar -zxvf fileX
Is there any way to recover the data (using either linux commands or through hard-disk memory scans, etc)
