How to recover xfs data after rm?

Is it possible to recover files that have been rm'ed from an XFS filesystem? How can I recover any files assuming they haven't been overwritten?



Edit:
The existing questions regarding this topic are all assuming an ext{2,3,4} file system. I am looking for an XFS solution.

    Those provided answers are only for ext{2,3,4} file systems. That is why I have specified XFS filesystem.

After a bit of investigation, it looks like there is no official method but several methods are listed on the official XFS FAQ page
