You will have to dig down through all that and see if you can identify it and put it back where it belongs.

 

Linux 'file' command might help with any files you don't recognize by telling you what kind of data is in a file so you can try to open it in an appropriate application.

Or if you have backups might be simpler to just go there to get the files back and forget about lost+found.

Luckily I do have backups, I thought on the gui of the tv show and bluray movies that I could use the move command and put them on the cache disk then have the mover put them back. Does that sound like it would work?

 

Since you have Dynamix File Manager plugin you could just move them yourself where they belong. Anything in lost+found on a particular disk was originally on that same disk.

 

If you know where they would belong on cache then you know where they belong on the disk they came from.

Ok, that sounds easier and if all else fails I can just rip them from the dvd's again.

 

So about the shares, in the system folder I have my docker vd and it is on the array, should it be on the cache disk instead? Also do you see anything else I can do to straighten out my server?

 

Or if you intend to restore them from backups instead of bothering with lost+found, don't cache since cache doesn't have capacity for all of it. Set the destination user shares to Primary:array Secondary:none until you get them restored.

Ideally, appdata, domains, and system shares would have all files on fast pool with nothing on the array, so Dockers/VMs will perform better, and so array disks can spin down since these files are always open.

Nothing can move open files, so if you need to move any of that off the array, you will have to disable Docker and VM Manager in Settings.

 

Probably simpler to use Dynamix File Manager for this as well, but be sure to set those shares so they keep files on the pool instead of moving to array.

Great! Thanks again for sticking around and helping me out!

I will wait until parity is rebuilt before moving any files, then I guess my next step will be to replace that old system with a new one. At least I will only need cpu motherboard and ram.
