Grub Corruption Leads To Data Loss In Linux
In Linux operating system, fsck (file system check) is a command-line utility that allows you to check file system and hard drive integrity
. Using this tool, you can even fix some minor errors of file system. Generally, it runs automatically during system boot when Linux detects that the file system is not in consistent state, indicating improper system shutdown like power loss or system crash. However, if you run fsck tool on physical volume, you may come across some odd error messages. The errors prevent you from accessing your data and lead to data loss. At this point, you need to use Linux Data Recovery solutions to extract lost data.
When you get such error messages, experts suggest to use the 'pacman' utility for upgrading your Linux kernel and reboot the system for finalizing this operation.
Pacman is an application of Linux operating system, which is used for managing other applications. This tool uses simple files in form of packages and organizes the text-based databases. This is helpful in adding, deleting, and upgrading the packages in Linux computer.
After completion of kernel up-gradation process, if you try to restart the system, system does not boot up. It may stuck on the boot screen. Despite of loading the GRUB (Grand Unified Boot Loader) and starting, the system just display loading GRUB message.
In such cases, if you boot the system using floppy, you may get the below error message:
ERROR: (device hda1): XT_GETPAGE: xtree page corrupt
ERROR: (device hda1): XT_GETPAGE: xtree page corrupt
Subsequent to above error message, if you run fsck tool, the following error occurs:
Errors detected in Primary File/Directory Allocation Table.
File system object FF65726 linked as: /var/run/random-seed
File claims cross linked block(s).
Cannot repair FF65726.
Cause
This problem is caused by corruption to GRUB or Linux file system. In such cases, hard drive formatting is required, which removes all the data from hard drive. To recover lost data, Data Recovery Linux is required.
You can recover lost data using
Data Recovery Linux applications. These are third-party applications, which are capable of methodically scanning the entire storage media and extract lost data from it. The Linux Recovery Software have simple and self-descriptive rich graphical user interface to provide ease of use. With read-only and non-destructive conduct, the applications are safe to use.
Stellar Phoenix
Linux data Recovery is the best ever made tool for quick and safe recovery of lost Linux data. It recovers data from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, FAT32, and FAT16 file system volumes. The software works well with all major distributions of Linux operating system.
