Hours of data vanished off of server without warning- please help!


Recommended Posts

Hello, all.

So I spent the better part of yesterday evening (3/26) uploading data to my server for a project I'm doing. I had been experiencing trouble with my internet connection due to ISP issues that persisted through to this morning. I know my data was intact as of 8:00AM today (3/27). Then, this morning, I rebooted my routers (I have two- Comcast's in bridge mode and mine, an old Dell server running OpnSense) and not long after, discovered that EVERYTHING I'd put on the unraid server since yesterday afternoon was gone.

 

I have a hard time believing that a loss of network connectivity would destroy data that had been in place all night, but it's the only proximate event I know of.

 

Now, it's worth noting that my array does have a disabled drive, due to what I'm pretty sure is a bad SAS cable, but that issue predates this one and I've been able to upload files without them disappearing. In fact, 3 of my drives are basically empty.

 

Diagnostics are attached below. Can anyone help me figure out what happened and if the data is recoverable?

Looks like you have some corruption on disk22

Mar 27 10:15:10 Balor kernel: XFS (md22p1): Filesystem has been shut down due to log error (0x2).
Mar 27 10:15:10 Balor kernel: XFS (md22p1): Please unmount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s).

 

Also, disks 24, 26, 27 empty or nearly so. Is that expected?
