Move failed, missing files throughout drives

I was trying to set up a new file structure to get the arr apps and plex working. Moving mass amounts of movies/shows crashed part of the way through, and now I have huge amounts of data not visible (1,500 movies, tv shows) The folders are still there but the actual files are not. The total used space on the drives is the same so I think that the data is still there, just not visible or the paths are corrupt? I've tried:

 

xfs_repair on each of the drive in maintenance mode

docker safe new perms

 

I don't really understand what my next steps would be, if any, to see if any of this data is recoverable. Any help would be appreciated. Diagnostics attached.

The fact that you say the same amount of space is used suggests that you have probably managed to put the files somewhere unexpected.   What were you using to do this mass move?

 

When you say you think  files are missing is this browsing over the network or looking locally?  Have you tried browsing the drives using something like Dynamix File Manager?

This was absolutely right and I think I've found and properly moved everything (using Krusader).

 

I was able to locate the missing files with QDirStat (stoked to see there is a WinDirStat clone here!). I had initially used the Dynamix File Manager to do this transfer but must have messed up and managed to send a huge chunk into a set of sub directories.

 

Appreciate the help.
