â€volume Does Not Exist†Error In Novell

By: k madhav Home | Computers-and-Technology | Data Recovery


When you boot Novell server, you may encounter the following error message during the bootup process:

â€Volume does not existâ€

After getting this error message, when you run vrepair to check for any disk data structures related problems, the process does not complete and no message gets displayed.

This problem occurs with every Novell volume. In such critical situations, the volume becomes completely inaccessible. Your precious data stored on a particular Novell volume could not be accessed and you experience serious data loss due to such system behavior. To revive the lost data in the Novell server hard drive, you should opt for novell recovery software.

Grounds of the issue

This behavior might be the possible result of damaged, corrupted or lost hard drive logical structure like file system. A Novell volume becomes inaccessible, unmountable or invisible mainly in case of file system corruption.

A file system may get damaged due to a number of reasons such as user errors, extensive fragmentation, virus infection etc. Due to file system corruption, operating system could not find the necessary information about the affected volume and thus won’t be able to access it.

After the occurrence of such errors, the ultimate result would be the loss of your mission critical data. Novell server stores a massive amount of significant business data as employee databases, project related information, knowledge resources etc. Loss of such critical information could be really daunting and it can bring your current work routine to a standstill.

In such severe data loss situations, you need to fix the file system corruption and retrieve your data at the earliest. The delay in recovery process may harm in terms of decreased revenue, customer faith and market value. Also, you should ensure that you do not reuse the affected disk to ensure that it does not get overwritten. Once a disk is overwritten or erased using proper erasure techniques, the data recovery becomes impossible.

The only solution to fix file system corruption is to format the hard drive and go for clean operating system reinstall. By formatting the drive you remove all the as related to the file system. It will lead to an error free hard drive that will be free from logical errors only, as hardware errors can also cause data loss and storage media malfunction.

Although, formatting a hard drive is helpful for fixing logical errors, but it also has a downside. The format operation erases all the data from the selected volume (in case of a single volume, whole hard drive). It causes complete data loss. So, you need to go for high-quality Novell Recovery solutions to reclaim your lost data stored in the server.

At this point of time, you need to perform novell partition recovery to recover your lost novell volumes and data from them. Novell server and workstation level recovery is potential through novell recovery software. Such tools are powerful and easy-to-use third party utilities, which perform complete and smooth Novell Recovery in all possible scenarios of data loss.

You can choose from Stellar Phoenix Novell NWFS Data Recovery or Stellar Phoenix Novell NSS Data Recovery software. The software supports NWFS (Netware File System) and NSS (Novell Storage System) file systems.
