trick.tar Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I had some files in /root and /home/plex/scripts/ but I found they were all gone after a reboot. Only empty directories were left. I searched online quickly and read some about array stop/start, so instead I just rebooted the system again. But before doing that, I created an empty file in those directoreis to see if it goes missing again. After another reboot, to my surprise, this time I even found the 'scripts' directory went missing under the 'plex' folder. How can this happen? Why files / directories disappear every time I reboot? root@Tower:/home/plex/scripts# ls root@Tower:/home/plex/scripts# touch test root@Tower:/home/plex/scripts# ls test root@Tower:/home/plex/scripts# cd ~ root@Tower:~# touch test root@Tower:~# ls mdcmd@ test root@Tower:~# Broadcast message from root@Tower (Mon Feb 28 09:33:55 2022): The system is going down for reboot NOW! Session was closed Linux 5.10.28-Unraid. root@Tower:~# ls mdcmd@ root@Tower:~# cd ../home/plex/ root@Tower:/home/plex# ls root@Tower:/home/plex# ls root@Tower:/home/plex# ls So you get what I mean with this. First reboot: just files were gone. empty directories were left. created empty test files in those directories. Second reboot: the empty directories were gone. Newly created files also went missing.
