Rectifying “Out of space on EAFS” Error in UNIX Open Server

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.

Tips to resolve “NOTICE:HTFS Out of iNodes.. ” Error Message in SCO Open Server

Inode, in HTFS (High Throughput File System), is an important metadata structure, which saves the critical information about files, directories, and file system objects. Every file stored on your hard drive contains a unique inode number. Corruption or damage in Inode primarily occurs due to various logical factors including unexpected system shutdown, operating system malfunctioning, improper use of fsck command, virus attack, and more. The data stored in the hard drive becomes inaccessible once your Inode structure gets corrupted due to any of the above reasons. To overcome such situations, an easy way is to restore data from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available, or back file itself gets corrupted, then you will need to opt for advanced SCO Data Recovery software.

As a practical instance, you encounter any of the below error messages when you attempt to boot your system from SCO Open Server:

“NOTICE: HTFS: Out of inodes on HTFS dev hd(1/42)
WARNING: HTFS: error 28: logging disabled”
Or
“NOTICE:HTFS Out of inodes on HTFS dev hd (1/42)”

The same error messages appear each time you attempt to boot your system. Furthermore, you encounter the same error message each time you attempt to boot your system using SCO OpenServer.

Cause:

Two causes for any of the above error messages are discussed below:

There are no free inodes for your file system.
Inode corruption.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and access the data, you will need to use “df -k” command. However, if the above command fails to resolve your issue and the data remains inaccessible, then you will need to reinstall the SCO OpenServer operating system. A clean reinstall of SCO OpenServer erases all the previously saved data on your hard drive partition or volume. In such situations, you will need to use powerful SCO Data Recovery application. Such SCO Data Recovery applications employ high-end scanning methods to recover all the lost data. These applications are built with highly graphical user-interface that makes them easy to understand without any prior technical knowledge.

Stellar Phoenix SCO OpenServer Data Recovery is a non destructive SCO Data Recovery tool that performs recovery without altering even a single bit of your data. This SCO recovery software supports recovery from HTFS and EAFS file system volumes and is compatible with Windows 2003, XP, 2000, NT, ME, and 98 operating systems.
