A file system corruption error message stops the file system mounting process and does not allow your system to boot. Some of the main causes of file system corruption are improper system shutdown, metadata structure corruption, and software errors. Hard drive data stored on corrupt file based volume becomes inaccessible after error message appears. To overcome all the dangers created by a file corruption error message, a perfect way is to restore data from an updated backup. However, if you have not created any backup or the backup gets corrupted, then you need to use advanced UnixWare Data Recovery software which can provide complete recovery of inaccessible hard drive data.
To illustrate this, consider a scenario where you encounter the following file corruption error when you start your computer system:
UX: vxfs fsck: ERROR invalid option – – a
UX: vxfs fsck: TO Fix: usage: fsck (etc)…
Could not mount file system /d
The above error indicates that the file system cannot be mounted and advises you to use the fsck command. You encounter the same message every time you try to start your computer system.
Cause:
The root cause of the above error is the corruption of the /d file.
Resolution:
To resolve your error and access the data on your hard drive, you will need to repair your damaged /d file system using the fsck command (as suggested in the error message). The fsck command checks for and repairs corrupt or inconsistent file systems in most situations. However, if the above error persists even after using the fsck command, you will need to reinstall the SCO UnixWare operating system. A clean reinstallation of the SCO UnixWare operating system erases all data stored on the hard drive partition or volume. For complete data recovery after the reinstallation process is complete, you should opt for the powerful SCO UnixWare Recovery software. Such Unix data recovery software is built with highly graphical user interface and uses powerful scanning algorithms to provide complete recovery of lost data.
Stellar Phoenix (SCO UnixWare) Data Recovery is an efficient SCO UnixWare Recovery application that supports VxFS [Veritas File System – VxFS1, VxFS2 & VxFS4] and UFS file. Designed for Windows 2003, XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98 and 95, the non-destructive tool supports storage devices such as IDE, EIDE and SCSI hard drives.
