我们知道，Mysql的MYISAM引擎表在当前Database目录下，有3个对应的文件，frm结构文件，MYI索引文件，MYD数据文件。当你在Mysql中，drop了MYISAM引擎表后，其实就是在文件系统里将其对应的3个文件rm了。所以当你执行drop后，如果能将上面3个文件恢复，那么表也将恢复。
如果你使用的是EXT3文件系统，那么可以使用ext3grep来完成上面的操作，举例说明：
1.安装ext3grep
首先需要安装e2fsprogs-libs，可以到http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/下载源码包
tar -xzvf e2fsprogs-1.41.5.tar.gz
cd e2fsprogs-1.41.5
mkdir build; cd build
../configure
make
make install
make install-libs（e2fsprogs-libs）
在安装ext3grep，可以到http://code.google.com/p/ext3grep/downloads/list下载
tar xfvz ext3grep-0.10.1.tar.gz
cd ext3grep-0.10.1
./configure
make
make install
ext3grep -V
Running ext3grep version 0.10.1

2.删除测试表
mysql> use test
mysql> desc t;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | int(10) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> select * from t;
+------+
| id |
+------+
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>drop table t;
mysql> quit
3.停止mysql,并将数据文件所在分区umount。
# /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
Shutting down MySQL.. [ OK ]
cd
# umount /dev/sda6
4.利用ext3grep工具进行恢复
# ext3grep /dev/sda6 --ls --inode 2
Running ext3grep version 0.10.1

可以看到Mysql数据文件的目录data对应的Inode是237569，然后在查看改Inode对应的block。
