Data Recovery after Root Directory Corruption in Linux

To manage the files stored on any partition or volume, Hierarchical Directory Structures is used. This logical tree of directories is used in every file system, as the intuitive way to manage the files. Much like the real tree has all the roots and branches come together in one spot, so too does a file system directory structure. The base directory of the logical tree is known as “Root Directory”.

Root Directory is a directory that includes all other directories. In Linux as well as other OS, the root directory has no specified name. It controls the activity of the all other directories in the tree. It works as the Catalog file in Windows and Mac operating system. It contains the address and path of all the files stored on your computer hard drive. Operating system reads the files from this logical tree and display it to user. Sometimes while trying to access a Linux file, you may get the following error messages:

• Can’t access the file
• No such file or directory
• File not found

These error messages can occur when the root directory of your file system is corrupted and your operating system can’t find the path of specified file and fail to access it. This event of root directory corruption can lead to data loss.

In these situations of data loss, you need for data recovery solutions to recover your lost data. In this case, you can recover your lost data with the help of Linux recovery software.
Linux data recovery software are specially designed data recovery software to recover the lost or inaccessible data from the Linux based hard drive. These software uses advanced scanning algorithms to search and locate the lost data and then recover them. These data recovery software can also recover the Linux volumes with corrupted Inode or super block.
