Dirty shutdowns, minor file system inconsistencies and more, these are the common problems with Linux operating system. So at each boot, the criterion of fsck is meant for preventing the data loss problems with Linux. But contrarily, serious data loss issues have been seen, when the user loses power when fsck is on its way of routine checkup.In some of the reports, when the user restarts the system, the partitions have been found to be inaccessible. This is the critical situation of data loss as whole of the data appear to come to an end. For the further investigation of the problem, when the user runs fdisk on the partition, similar warning may be seen:Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)Command (m for help): pDisk /dev/hdb: 203.9 GB, 203928109056 bytes255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24792 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytesDevice Boot Start End Blocks Id SystemCommand (m for help):This warning hints you of the creepy act with the partition table of hard drive; as a result all the partitions have become inaccessible. Partition table is the 16-byte information, describing all the information about the hard disk partitions. Its loss or damage means that the operating system cant locate and hence cant access those partitions, thus Linux data recovery demands some other means.The inaccessibility issues due to which the partitions are unable to yield data can be resolved using Linux recovery software. These utilities make scan of the hard drive to make the partitions and hence data accessible. Data recovery Linux is made possible in a non-destructive way i.e. without altering the contents. Moreover, the interactive interface adds to its qualities, making the process easier.Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is the splendid product, designed to recover lost information from Linux. This Linux data recoery product is found to be compatible with Ext2, Ext3 and Reiser FS file systems. Havi ng read-only nature and hence safe to the data, the application is known for its good quality Linux recovery results. Linux data recovery is not a big deal for Phoenix Linux recovery in any of the data loss case. Moreover, the software offers you an absolute partition recovery with the powerful scanning algorithms.
