A user profile in Sun Solaris operating system on Intel platform is created to make sure that the file and system access is adequately secured. The user profile corruption mainly occurs due to running fsck command on mounted file system, application malfunctioning, operating system corruption, file system damage, malicious software like virus, software bugs and other similar reasons. Two major outcomes of user profile corruption are unbootable system and inaccessible data. In such situations, an up-to-date backup acts as a boon to restore the lost data. But, if no updated backup is available, you need to opt for an advanced Solaris Intel Data Recovery tool to recover your lost data.
Consider a practical scenario, where you enter the user credentials to boot Sun Solaris 5.8 system. However, after entering the credentials, you find out that the system does not boot and displays an error message:
“/usr corrupt, can get to fsck (solaris)”
The same error message appears each time you attempt to boot the operating system. In addition, the data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible after the occurrence of the above error message.
Cause:
As stated in the above error message, the user profile is corrupted.
Resolution:
To troubleshoot and resolve the above error message, you need to take these measures:
• Type the below mount command:
mount -o ro /usr
• Boot from CD-ROM and at the OK prompt, type the below command for single user mode:
boot cdrom -s #
However, if both the above measures fall short to resolve the above issue and your data still remains inaccessible, then you will need to use advanced Sun Solaris Data Recovery Software. Such Sun Solaris Intel Recovery utilities employ high end scanning methods to recover your lost files and folders. These utilities are built with highly graphical user interface, which makes them self-explanatory without any technical skills. Such recovery tools recover lost data after fsck is unable to repair the system data structures. These applications also recover lost data post rigorous corruption scenarios like superblock or inode structure damage. Such applications do not perform any write operations to ensure safe and non-destructive recovery procedure.
Stellar Phoenix (Solaris - Intel) Data Recovery is the foremost Sun Solaris Data Recovery tool that recovers data from affected Solaris operating system. The software supports UFS file systems. It gets installed on Windows (XP, 2003, 2000, NT, ME, 98 and 95) and the affected UNIX hard drive should be connected as slave.
