Running Boot Time Fsck Reports Data Loss Problems in Linux
Linux is a widely used open-source operating system, which has various distributions to meet different kinds of needs. This advanced operating system supports a wide range of file systems, including Ext4, Ext3, and Ext2. Among all Linux file system, Ext3 is the most popular one. It is used as a default file system numerous Linux versions. It is stable and powerful, which provides a wide range of safety measures to prevent files damage and need of Linux data recovery solutions.
Ext3 does not require file system checking when your Linux computer shuts down unexpectedly because of power failure, operating system crash, or any other reason. Ext3 also enables H-Tree indexing and online file growth for large directories. However, irrespective of various advanced security features, this file system may encounter corruption in some situations.
As a practical instance of Ext3 corruption, you may encounter the following error message with your Linux system-
"fsck.ext3 Unable to resolve 'LABEL=boot"
This error message occurs when you boot your Linux based machine after initializing the hardware. The error may also occur if your Linux runs fsck command at boot time.
Grounds of the problem-
1) This behavior of Linux operating system occurs if any of the below conditions are true-
2) Boot partition of Linux system is damaged.
3) Hard drive is affected by bad sectors.
4) There is a wrong entry of the boot partition in the /etc/fstab file.
5) Ext3 file system is damaged.
Resolution-
Apply the following Linux recovery solutions to sort out this problem-
In case of boot partition corruption, run fsck on the damaged volume. It detects and fixes file system and hard drive integrity issues.
Mark correct entry of boot partition in the list of volumes. For this purpose, you need to boot your system using Linux Rescue CD.
Replace the bad sector affected storage media with a new disk. However, you need to restore data from an updated backup after this process.
If none of the above methods work, you need to opt for third-party Linux File recovery solutions to get your valuable data back. They let you perform data recovery Linux in an easy and safe way with simple user interface and read-only conduct.
