UnixWare Recovery When Chmod Operation Fails

on
Sometimes when you change the file system modes of the files and directories on your SCO UnixWare computer using chmod (or change mode) command in UNIX, the process may fail and your valuable data might go missing. In such situations, to retrieve your data, you should go for SCO UnixWare Data Recovery.
The chmod is C language function and shell command in SCO UnixWare and other UNIX operating systems. It is used to modify the file system mode of the files and directories. These modes include access permissions and special modes.
Only the root user can change the file system mode using chmod command. Chmod command has the below given syntax:
Chmod [options] mode file(s)
The ‘mode’ part of this command specifies the new privileges for the file or directory which follow as arguments.
Although, chmod command is very useful for SCO UnixWare administrators as well as users, but when the file permission changing process does not complete, data loss may occur.
In some cases, when you try to change file system modes of given files and directories, the process may stop with following error message:
“Chmod: changing ownership of `/
mnt/hdc1’: Operation not permitted”
After this error message, the volume on which you applied chmod command, becomes completely inaccessible and put you in serious data loss situation.
In such critical situations, the only way to recover your data is to carry out UnixWare Recovery. It is a systematic procedure to recover lost, missing or inaccessible data from your UnixWare hard drive.
It is best possible using third party UNIX recovery tools, known as UnixWare Data Recovery software. These are highly automated applications that are capable of methodically scanning your affected hard drive and extracting all data from it.
Using UnixWare Recovery software, you can carry out 'Do It Yourself’ UNIX recovery. These software are easy-to-use tools and they do not require sound technical skills to achieve successful recovery of your mission critical data.
Such software can recover your lost files, directories and hard drive volumes after issues like file system corruption, operating system malfunction, metadata structure corruption, accidental deletion, hard drive formatting, user errors as incorrect use of commands and other similar scenarios.
Stellar Phoenix UnixWare Data Recovery is the most comprehensive and result-oriented SCO Data Recovery application that can handle all logical data loss situations. It supports recovery from VxFS (Veritas File System - VxFS1, VxFS2 & VxFS4) and UFS file system volumes of UnixWare.
