Linux Data Recovery

Linux runs most of the world’s servers, almost every NAS, and a growing number of desktops and developer workstations. We recover data from Linux systems whether the problem is a failed disk, a broken RAID or LVM layout, or a corrupted file system.

Our engineers are comfortable working at the level of superblocks, inodes, extent trees and journal structures, which is often where Linux recoveries are won.

Common Linux Problems

• System drops to an emergency shell or will not mount root
• “Bad superblock” or “Structure needs cleaning” errors
• XFS or Btrfs volumes mounting read-only or refusing to mount
• LVM volume group missing after a disk failure
• mdadm array inactive or assembled with the wrong disks
• Files deleted with rm -rf or a volume accidentally reformatted
• Database files corrupted after a crash
