Tried it, works great :)
Why i tried it? ...No comments. :oops:

And never forget
If... When ;) you accidentally delete some file you need back:
Write as little as possible to that partition!
And never mount it again until you have extracted back the deleted files
OR unmount it and make a partition image file using dd
- extundelete can work from that file later :)

Also, i *Suspect* that if the partition is on a SD drive and TRIM is working it is imperative that a image backup is made ASAP
- and of course to another drive - so "unused" parts do not get deleted/overwritten.
