Init and Initrd File Corruption Cause Data Loss in Linux

Every computer operating system performs various system level operations during boot time or while executing installed applications. These operations are critical from system point of view to access data from hard drive and run the software, both application and system software. Linux operating system manages all the system related operations through init. It is the most significant step of booting process. However, if it fails to run properly, system becomes unbootable and stored data become inaccessible. This behavior leads to data loss and put you in need of Linux data recovery
