Volume Definition Table

Home >> Volume Definition Table

A Volume Definition table is a table that maintains a record of volume segment information like volume name, locations, and size. Corruption or damage to this table results into an error message that makes the hard drive volume unmountable. In such situations, the data stored in the volume becomes inaccessible. Few main reasons for the corruption of Volume Definition Table are discussed below:


  • File System damage
  • Operating System malfunctioning
  • Software bugs
  • Repartitioning your hard drive
  • Resizing hard drive volumes
  • Human errors
  • File system conversion

To access the data stored in the hard drive volume after Volume Definition Table gets corrupted, you will need to repair the table by using an inbuilt repair utility named “Vrepair.” In most cases, the inbuilt repair utility repairs the corrupted table and makes the data accessible. However, if the Vrepair utility fails to resolve your problem, and the data still remains inaccessible, then you will need to restore data from an updated backup. But if in case, there is no backup available, then you will need to use advanced Novell Data Recovery software.
