Recovering a file deleted with rm.

There are lot of issues regarding recovering a deleted file using rm command.
Even I am not sure, whether it can be recovered or not.

But as per man page for rm says,
.....
Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to
recover the contents of that file. If you want more assurance that the
contents are truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.
.......
It is recoverable.
But the recovery depends on the file system and the reliability of the hard disk.
So try it and add your comments to this post.
