To be blunt had a power outage and usb drive failed. This was like my 6-7th time with it failing and everytime my drives die over the years I get nervous and become more okay with the fact I didn't lose data.

 

I setup a new drive and plugged it in. Set all drives as disk drives to find parity and saw a 10tb un mountable and an 8. I was confident 10tb was parity and 8tb was just a drive I never formatted for unraid. I set those up and turned it on so I could get my unraid backup config which is saved on the array... Didn't work I kept messing around with configs like an idiot and now it says all my drives are pretty much empty. I never let parity check run for more than a moment but am curious of how screwed I am. I got about 12 drives and a lot of data

 

any help would be great.

Stop whatever you're doing and post your diagnostics

Machine did reboot but here they are. Thanks for taking the time to take a look squid.

 

Also this happened to me but didn't power down until it got unplugged happened day prior: 

 

Also I am pretty sure on my cache drive I had a plugin that was backing up my dockers and settings and what not.

You need to start the array and post a new set of diags

Should I mount all as data to start?

yup

Thanks again for helping

Your parity drive was either disk 10 or 12.  But, it would appear that you have no data on the drives.  The assumption I'm forced to make is that at some point they came up as unmountable, and you then selected the checkbox and hit format.

 

Your best (only?) recovery at this point is to invest in UFS Explorer and attempt to recover the files on a Windows box (non-VM)

Now if I go that route should I try to recover the important files or is there any hope of restoring something that can make the gist of it come back?

Also as far as hitting format for unmountable drives I did not press that positive of that.

A number of user have been similarly hacked lately, did you have any forwarded router ports (or DMZ enable) to your server?

Yes I had Ombi open to the public. I think that was the only thing that was open.

 

edit I might have the gui forwarded too but their was a lengthy password to get in.

Why does anybody do this without a VPN???

Beats me. I have WireGuard setup myself, but actually rarely use it these days, due to work from home in these COVID times.

 

But I do wonder why it seems a lot of unRAID users have been what seems to be hacked? Only port I have personally open is 443 voor https and setup reverse proxy for Bitwarden for example. Hope this port is still safe. But I’ve seen users opening up port 22 and that certainly is a big NO NO.

It might have been I know it was once upon a time. But I just checked and it's not port forwarded anymore. I vpn. I am just trying to think what could have caused this.

 

I just checked I had. WireGaurd portforwarded, iMessage for for airmessage but that wasn't even running. I had ombi open and plex that is it.

I had something similar happen to me and went the UFS explorer route Squid talked about. I was able to scan one of my 10tb disks yesterday and the data does appear to still be there. Hopefully that is the same as yours. UFS explorer looks like the way to go.

Did you just install like ubuntu or something and use ufs explorer and plug in another hard drive and transfer it over?

use ufs explorer

I think people just install UFS Explorer on another computer that is already using Windows or something. Have you checked out the UFS Explorer website?

Just got time today to take a look. I would assume it would have to be running on a flashdrive or something on the machine with the physical hard drives in it?

In other words, it is an application you install on a computer running Windows or some other supported OS. That computer will have to have the disks attached. I think it also has to have a place to save the recovered files. This is based on reading their website i have no personal experience 

Going to tinker with it right now and see if it has the data. If so I will buy a few 10tb hard drives and back it all up and then try to repair the array if possible. If I can't hopefully I can get the data off.

 

That being said my cache drive does have my appdata and system folder with Docker and libvirt. So worst case scenario I could always just setup new array if I lost everything and swap in my docker/libvirt and appdata and all my plugins should continue. Also that being said sonarr,radarr,sabnzbd will be back just no data in my data folder so I will have to rescan and build everything.
