In Linux operating system, you can re-size the hard drive volumes with preservation of your critical data stored on the volume, using Gparted utility. It can also be used for creating, moving and removing hard drive volumes. In some situations, resizing the hard drive volume might cause serious problems of data loss. Unsuccessful operation of disk resizing might render the disk volumes and stored data inaccessible.
In these cases, you are required to opt for effective and powerful Linux Data Recovery software to get all of the missing, lost and inaccessible data. In a practical scenario, when you resize the hard drive volumes using Gparted utility in Linux, read/write operation may halt it and the hard drive might not mount. When you try to access data from the affected hard drive, you come across a number of error messages. In such situations, if you run fsck command to detect and repair errors, it does not detect any problem and you encounter further error messages.

The error message can be similar to the following one:

At this point, your Linux system does not boot up and thus you can not access the stored data form hard drive. In these circumstances, you need to find out the cause of this issue and go for Data Recovery Linux to retrieve lost data.


Cause of this problem
This issue generally occurs due to corruption to the Superblock. It is one of the most critical database of your Linux operating system. The above error message indicates that your file system is severely damaged and thus the system can not work.

Resolution
The Linux operating system keeps redundant copies of superblock. You can use any of them to sort out the problem. You can search alternative superblock using 'mkfs -n' command. If you are unable to replace damaged superblock or the problem is with file system, you can go for hard drive formatting and operating system reinstallation. The process will replace all the damaged system resources and install a clean file system.
Though above process can resolve the current problem, but it also has a drawback. Formatting the hard drive removes all of the data from it and cause critical data loss situations. In these cases, you require Linux Data Recovery to handle the situation. Recovery is best possible using third part Linux Recovery software. The applications use high-end scanning techniques to thoroughly scan the affected drive and retrieve all of the lost, missing and inaccessible data. They are quite easy and safe to use.

Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is the most excellent solution for all your Linux data loss problems. It supports recovery from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2 and ReiserFS file system volumes. The software is compatible with all major Linux distributions including RedHat, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu.
