There are a number of Operating Systems which uses different file systems to give a proper control and management to their files stored on hard drive. As we all know File System is a method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them.
There are two types of file system in Windows as FAT and NTFS file systems, but there is another file system in Linux called Ext2 or Extended File System used in Linux Kernel. It is faster file system and it is used as the benchmarking standard.
Hard drives are partitioned to store one kind of data on one partition to manage them effectively. We use file systems on the logical partitions of harddrive.Different partitions can have different size. Sometimes we need to resize the partitions. It is generally required in two cases:
When the particular partition is small and the amount of data is big.
When the partition is big and it decrease the accessing speed.
These conditions can take place; we resize the partition by increasing or decreasing the size of other partitions. We can resize the partition using two methods:
Formatting and deleting the partitions and them repartitioning the drive.
Resizing dynamically using software
In case of formatting the drive, data loss may occur. To save the data, we need to resize the partitions using software. These software resize the logical partitions without formatting the drive or affecting the existing data. With the help of these software, you can resize the partitions very easily.
We always try to do new experiments and ultimately lost our data with out any prior indication. Whether we are experts or non technical we should not open the hard disk with out having fully knowledge of file systems in Linux as we know if fail to do the job we lost our data and files but the solution is possible in the name of Linux Recovery.
Linux data recovery software are the application programs designed to recover data from Linux Operating System. In this particular case, you need to purchase a data recovery software that can recover data from Ext2 File System. Before purchasing any Linux Recovery software, you should make sure that the particular software you are going to purchase will support the recovery from Ext2 file system and consisting of Ext2 Recovery.
