EXT3 file recovery

[ranjith kannikara]

Hi all,
Thanks to get such fast and useful replies. I would like to ask one more
that
Can some one tell me where to find the code for the procedure 'delete'. ie
the code that runs when a file is deleted from an ext3 filesystem.. where is
this code placed.
Regards
Ranju.
