Inode is the number which uniquely identifies each object in UNIX file system. All the basic information about a file, directory or any such file system objects is stored in inode. The information like access mode, file type, permission, owner, group, file size, file creation, access and modification time, access control list, all these information are a part of inode. So this is practically impossible for a UNIX operating system to locate file system object in the absence of inode.
Also known as index number, inode can get corrupted due to many causes like virus attack, improper use of fsck, unexpected shutdown, offensive use of commands and so on. In inode corruption, either you may not access the file as a whole or may experience problems like wrong file size, incorrect permissions etc. and so data loss sets in. UNIX recovery can cure, but needs an extensive careful mechanism.
Stellar has a range of products to offer UNIX data recovery after corruption in the inode structures. Available for different UNIX distributions, these UNIX recovery products scan the disk and retrieve the lost data in the original form.
UNIX recovery products have been designed with the supreme technology to stand against data loss situations like inode structure corruption. They offer UNIX data recovery through the suitable data search and present an abstract view of the procedure.
For UNIX recovery after corruption in inode structures, follow the given below steps:
