Are you resizing your Linux hard drive partitions using Gparted utility? Create an absolute backup of your valuable data before your proceed. Gparted provides you advanced and easy methods to perform a number of operations on your Linux volumes. However, in some cases, re-sizing the partition with Gparted utility can become very problematic. It may corrupt the volumes and cause critical data loss situations. In order to recover lost data in such circumstances, Linux Data Recovery becomes need of hour.

Gparted is an inbuilt tool in Linux operating system, which enables you to create, resize, deleted, copy, move, or check hard drive partitions, and file systems on partitions. It also creates partition table on hard drive and enables/disables the partition flags like hidden and boot. It is helpful for reorganizing disk usage, creating space for new OS, mirroring one volume with another, and copying the data stored on hard drive.

Sometimes, while resizing the Linux hard drive partitions through Gparted tool, the process may gets terminated with read/write errors. After this alarming incident, hard drive doesn’t mount at all and gives you further errors.

At this point, if you run the fsck utility after restarting the problem remains intact. Furthermore, you encounter further error messages. The situations keep getting more and more serious at every attempt of solving this problem. Linux superblock may get damaged, and give you the indication of file system corruption.

The problem can be indicated by various error messages, such as:

“Superblock corrupted, run with -b 32768”

Some warning messages may also occur, which indicates the the device is busy and it cannot be accessed.

Redundant copies of the superblock are maintained by Linux file system. You can fix this issue by using any of such copies. You can search alternative superblock using “mkfs -n” command.

However, if you cannot find a superblock that is free from corruption, you need to format the hard drive and reinstall operating system. Although, this method can fix up the problem, but also removes all the data from hard drive and creates need of Data Recovery Linux.

You can recover Linux data with the help of third-party Linux Data Recovery software. The applications enable you to perform Linux Recovery on your own as they have simple graphical user interface.

Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is the most advanced and widely used application to perform absolute recovery of lost Linux data. It works well with all major distributions of Linux operating system, such as Red Hat, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, and Ubuntu. The software recovers lost data from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, FAT32, VFAT, FAT16, and FAT12 file system volumes.
