ejhuzy Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I was writing a script to move files and the file didn't do what it was supposed to. It created a file in the current directory with a "*" in it. I quickly "rm" the file and now /boot directory is gone. I'm not sure what else is gone. When I look at the flash drive from windows, it's empty. What should I do? How do I recover. Please help this dummy. EDIT: I do have a back up of the flash drive on my Windows PC. Can I just copy that to the flash drive and reboot? I don't want to lose all my media though. Right now that looks fine.
ejhuzy Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 So I went to copy my back up to the flash drive and Windows warned me that each file was already there. So, skipped the copy and did a reboot (via shutdown -r now). When unRAID came back up, it started a parity sync. However, everything was back to normal. Except...I can't write to the /boot directory. I had this problem before and I had to powerdown and use Windows to clean up bad sectors on the flash drive. I'll do that after the parity check ends.
ejhuzy Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 Read only error went away after I powered down the server and ran chkdsk on the flash drive. Rebooted and it's working again. I've moved my flash drive from a USB port on the front of the tower to a usb port right on the mobo. See if this stops these file system problems.
