July 27, 20223 yr Hello folks, Unraid 6.9.2 I recently had a drive fail and replaced and rebuilt it but now I'm having an issue with a folder inside one my Shares. I have a video share that has two folders (TV Shows and Movies). The TV Shows folder seems to be working fine but I can't write to the Movies folder. When using the GUI to navigate to the folder it will often say "No listing: Too many files". I have attached diagnostics. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks tower-diagnostics-20220727-1417.zip
July 27, 20223 yr Author I have a wall of text from that. Is there something to look for or should I post it?

July 27, 20223 yr Community Expert That's a lot to repair. No modify flag set You would have to run it without -n to get it to actually do the repair. Seems unusual that it would need that much repair and yet still be mountable. And encryption might make that even more complicated. Wait for another opinion @JorgeB before you do anything.
July 27, 20223 yr Community Expert Did you do this check from the webUI? It is easy to get the command wrong if you try to do it from the command line.
July 27, 20223 yr Author I ran it -nv just to check. I have backups so I'm not overly worried about losing it all but it would be nice to keep most of it. So at this point its basically run "xfs_repair -v /dev/md2" and hope it still works? Thanks again for your help.

Do it again with -n (nomodify) from the webUI and it will use the correct command. Then we can see what it thinks needs repairing.
July 28, 20223 yr Community Expert Basically the only option is to fix the filesystem, this corruption after a rebuild suggests parity wasn't 100% in sync, do you still have the old disk intact or it failed/died?
July 28, 20223 yr Author It had a ton of read errors when I pulled it but I haven't hooked it back up to anything to see.
July 28, 20223 yr Community Expert Repair the filesystem and then depending on the result you can see if the old disk can still be used to recover data if needed.
July 28, 20223 yr Author Appreciate the help. Repair seemed to work. I'll keep the old drive in case I find anything missing/corrupted. Thanks again.

July 28, 20223 yr Author Thanks. Just a bunch of numbered folders. Some are empty some have an empty Thumbs folder.
July 28, 20223 yr Community Expert lost+found is where repair puts things it can't figure out, folder and files without names, files with no idea what folder they belonged to. How large is the lost+found user share? You can see how much of each disk is used by each user share by clicking Compute... for it on the User Shares page.
