Retrieve data from partially working Hard Disk



Many times the hard disk in your computer stops functioning properly after some years. Some part of it may become unreadable. Or you may delete some important data from yourhard disk accidentally.
In such cases you can use this useful tool for retrieving your lost data. Recuva is a freeware which can recover objects/files on your computer which are deleted accidentally or by some virus or malware. It can also recover data from your partially corrupted hard disk.

 

The tool is very easy to use. It’s fully automatic , simply select the directory from which you want to retrieve the data. Rest of the work will be done by Recuva. It will show you all the data which is recoverable and then you can select the data which you want to retrieve.

This property is used to define the directory at the local filesystem which will store the data for the namenode and the data node. There're three HDFS properties which contain hadoop.tmp.dir in their values- dfs.name.dir : directory where namenode stores its metadata, with default value ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/name . dfs.data.dir : directory where HDFS data blocks are stored, with default value ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/data . fs.checkpoint.dir : directory where secondary namenode store its checkpoints, default value is ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/namesecondary . Usually the default value for "hadoop.tmp.dir" is '/tmp/hadoop-{username}'. With many of the OS restarts, the 'tmp' directory contents are deleted and hence  you may loose the data directory for the namenode as well as th datanode content. And then if you...
