One of the most significant responsibility of SCO Open Server system administrator is to make sure that there is enough disk space for the user. For this purpose, you need to monitor free space in the file system and take appropriate actions whenever the free space gets low. Amount of free disk space depends upon the size of hard drive containing file system and number of files on disk. But in case if the space gets decreased, file system corruption might occur and you come across data loss situations. At this point, it become essential to carry out SCO Data Recovery to get your valuable data back.
The SCO Open Server system operates best if at least 15% of total disk space in the file system is free. When the file system space gets less than 15%, the operating system and system operations become sluggish. When the file system does not have sufficient space, you might come across any of the below given error message on a EAFS (Extended Acer File System) file system volume:
'Out of space on EAFS dev hd (major/minor)'
Or
'No space on EAFS'
When the file system become out of space, your UNIX system stops responding and you can not access anything from the drive and write attempts also fail. In these cases, your system might not boot up and you come across data loss situations.
When you encounter this problem, follow underwritten steps for EAFS Recovery:
- Remove files from /tmp directory.
- Remove unused files from the hard drive and free up disk space.
- Locate large files and either remove them or compress them.
- Find unused system files and delete them.
- Clear system log.
- Add extra disk space.
When these methods can not help you to correct the problem and your file system gets damaged, carrying out SCO Data Recovery becomes necessary. This is best possible using third party recovery applications, which are capable of handling most of such cases.
These EAFS Recovery software use advanced scanning mechanisms to thoroughly scan the affected drive and retrieve all of the data from it. They come equipped with self-descriptive and interactive graphical user interface and thus allow you to carry out Do It Yourself recovery. With read only and non destructive conduct, these tools are completely safe to use.
Stellar Phoenix (SCO Open Server) Data Recovery is the most excellent solution for all of such data loss situations. It supports recovery from HTFS and EAFS file system volumes. This software is helpful in all cases of data loss such as virus infection, file system corruption, operation system malfunction and so forth.
