The WebUI froze and I was unable to load it from any of my devices or browsers, so I ssh'd into the tower and issued the reboot command. Once Unraid came back online, all of my content was present except for about 600GB of data in the domains share. The domains share was on an NVMe SSD only, and even when the SSD is explored over ssh, all of the other shares that were on the drive are there, but the domains share is empty.

 

I have genuinely no idea how this could have happened, as the libvrt image is fully intact and each of the VMs still shows in the Gui, it seems as if someone deleted all content in the domains folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post new diags with array started, also output of:

 

ls -lh /mnt/disk1

 

Output of `ls -lh /mnt/disk1`:

ls -lh /mnt/disk1
total 8.0K
drwxrwxrwx 10 nobody users  154 May 18 17:38 appdata/
drwx------ 19    999 users 4.0K May 18 19:47 databases/

Running `ls -lah /mnt/disk1/*` would show that each of the directories contains data other than the domains one, which is empty.

That share only exists on disk1, so if it's empty not much else you can other than restore from a backup, if one is available.

Is there anything I can do to ensure this doesn’t happen again? I am very concerned as to why it happened and am now worried about the rest of my data.

Files don't just disappear, something must have happened, but you should have backups of anything important.

I have never had an issue with Unraid before and there are almost no similar reports on the internet so I will chalk this up to making a mistake somewhere that I didn’t notice and be more careful next time. Thank you for your help.
