Well Joe, reiserfsck just said nothing. Only the blinking cursor came back and this the reason why I attached the new syslog hoping that this might give you an insight of what happened during the reiserfsck run After a reboot the lost+found folder is full of files and one of the movie is back (only the mkv file not the fan art and not the cover). (Before I started the undelete process 2 movies along with their fan art and covers were deleted, only the nfo files were left in the movies folder) So maybe XBMC or TwonkyMedia Server is the delinquent but I don´t feel comfortable if files just disappear. Cheers Btw. the shares are read only; so none of the family was able to delete anything...

Joe, it was going well - however I still don´t know where the files are. Nothing in the lost+found folder.

Thanks Joe, I ran reiserfsck --check /dev/md2 and here is the reply: root@Tower:/# reiserfsck --check /dev/md2 reiserfsck 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com) ************************************************************* ** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and it fails ** ** please email bug reports to [email protected], ** ** providing as much information as possible -- your ** ** hardware, kernel, patches, settings, all reiserfsck ** ** messages (including version), the reiserfsck logfile, ** ** check the syslog file for any related information. ** ** If you would like advice on using this program, support ** ** is available for $25 at www.namesys.com/support.html. ** ************************************************************* Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/md2 Will put log info to 'stdout' Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes ########### reiserfsck --check started at Wed Jun 16 18:39:39 2010 ########### Replaying journal..

(--rebuild-tree did not complete) Aborted I will proceed according to your advise (reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/md2) I have 1GB RAM but I guess the issue was that my Mac was going to sleep.

Sorry Joe, should have known that a syslog is required. Here it is:

I lost some files recently and don´t know why. Perhaps XBMC was cleaning some data I turned off the respective switch in XBMC which enabled the application the erase files and was trying the description above to undelete the lost data. /mnt/disk1 went well, produced a list+found directory. After that I tried disk2 and went to bed. Today I couldn´t mount /mnt/disk2. I don´t know what happened but the disk2 is shown as unformatted. Should I run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/md2 again? Pls. advise. Thank you.
