When a Linux system starts up, the system is started with LiLo (LInux LOader), which is a system file. After that the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) section, after doing some tests, transfers the control to the MBR (Master Boot Record) where the LILO is stored.

One big plus of using it is that the booting process becomes real fast especially when stored in the MBR. But at times, the operating system gets corrupt as it also involves modification in the MBR while booting, which may lead to inaccessible system. There are various workarounds to recover and restore your valuable data. If none of them is successful, then the best alternative is to use a third-party Linux data recovery software.

Let us take an example in which you start your Linux system but it fails to boot properly. The boot process displays ‘LIL’ on the screen.

Cause:
The reason behind this booting problem is that the descriptor table is damaged.
In a Linux system, the hard disk is parted into blocks and then into block groups. The information of these block groups is stored in a group block descriptor, which also acts as an index table for these tables.

Resolution:

In such situations, you can perform the following methods:

1) Check the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) and verify whether the disk parameters in the disk are correct or not.

2) Try to format the partition again and install the LILO. However, that would mean that the data may get lost.

3) Run the ‘fsck’ tool to mount the file system and to check and repair any corruption issues on the file system.

4)  If the ‘fsck’ command fails, then perform a complete format of the hard disk.

Now, if the Linux system is still showing corruption systems and you do not have updated backup of the data, then the best solution to recover inaccessible data is to use a professional Linux data recovery software. These Linux recovery tools perform non-destructive scanning algorithms to recover data in few easy steps.

ReiserFS is the Journaled file system used for the Linux operating system. For the various features of this file system like metadata- only journaling, tail packing and online resizing, it is well adopted by the users who rely on it as the repository of data references.

So the reliance indicates that how critical it is that the integrity of the file system may remain maintained and depart from any corruption issues. But on the contrary of the ideal scenario, the corruption in this file system may occur, which can force you to think about Linux data recovery solution, as all the references of the stored data get wiped out with the corruption of the file system.

The unexpected system shutdown, virus attack like problems may craft this scenario of data loss. At the time of corruption, the popped up screen may suggest you to use ‘reiserfsck-rebuild-tree’, but one should be aware of the fact that at the point of file system corruption, attempting to rebuild the tree may corrupt the existing file more harshly and thus creating the critical obstacles for Linux recovery. New entries may be introduced with the gibberish contents.

Some of the other error messages may indicate that something is going fishy with the file system and thus the proper fix is needed to be deployed. After this, the data remains inaccessible as all the entries of the data gets removed, giving you a hard drive which appears particularly empty, which in reality is not.

For data recovery Linux, only the proper mechanism is required. The data is still there on the hard drive and can be fetched out with the suitable algorithms. The Linux data recovery software can well perform this from their targeted scanning algorithms.

In case of file system corruption, the Linux recovery must not reference the file system, as this has been refreshed and thus the feature like RAW File Recovery must be there in the software to cope the particular situation.

Data recovery Linux software avail the interactive user interface to the users and are available for different file systems. With the varying set of features, these Linux recovery products maintain the integrity of the data.

Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery software is the most developed and advanced data recovery utility which follows the superb mechanism to scan the affected hard drive with the well-built algorithms. The software supports Ext2, Ext3 and ReiserFS file system and offers you complete and valuable Linux data recovery options.

The RAW File Recovery option of the software is valuable for the file system corruption like issues. This data recovery Linux software can recognize each file type.
