Hi there, first time having an issue after 2 years.
One of my Hard Drives died but I had a parity drive.

Installed the new one, plus an additional one.

Parity began and completed. Things seemed to be working correctly.

Immich started having issues and then my Shares disappeared.

I ran xfs repair and it enabled the array to work again but only a few shares returned but I cannot see data within them. Still says theres data within it though. Just cant view it.
Not sure what the next steps could be.

No obvious filesystems issues logged, for one of the shares that is not showing the data, post the output from

ls -l /mnt/user/share_name

I found via MC the old config files for the shares - not sure if this helps. I suspect all my data is in the lost+found file.

Not sure where to enter that command. Im quite new to this (followed tutorials for setup but that was step by step).

That is a folder, and some files can be moved there after a filesystem repair. You can check by browsing that folder /mnt/disk1/lost+found

I see some data but not sure if its everything. Was hoping reactivating the shares would allow me to find the data in their original locations

If something ends up in the lost+found folder then that means the repair process could not find the directory entry to give it is original name/location.

Unfortunately sorting out the lost+found folder is a manual process.

Do you still have that original drive? Possibly there was nothing wrong with it except a bad connection, and it might still have your data.

Wish you had asked for help before doing anything, but at least you didn't rebuild an unmountable filesystem onto the original drive.

Since you are using mc, I will link a post with some warnings about using that instead of the built-in file manager:

terminal

Another command that will show how much data is lost+found

du -h -s /mnt/user/lost+found

built-in file manager

Yeah I still have the original drive - was tempted to try mount it - probably need to buy a SATA-USB connection cable (Happy to take recommendations) - All my drives are WD 4TB Red Plus 3.5"

So I'm guessing the Share config files being in the Share folder and not showing up doesn't mean much when it comes to the data right?
I have backups but its more the time spent setting it all up that I'm lamenting.

Those are just the settings from the webUI for each share. If the data isn't there the shares don't exist.

Do you have a spare port where you can plug it in?

I do - but hesitant to tinker with the new setup - I suppose if theres no data on the new setup (other than the Lost+Found) theres little risk and only benefit. Will give it a go.
When mounting it as a standalone - anything I need to lookout for or take into account?

What do you get from command line with this?

du -h -s /mnt/user/lost+found

Not at home to enter it yet. I'll post that before I do anything else - thanks for all the help thus far.

Looks like thats all the data

I've also tried to mount the old Hard Drive - No luck, I tried it on a SATA cable that had a working HD.

Most of it. Diagnostics showed these shares with data on disk1:

A-----e                           shareUseCache="no"      # Share exists on disk1
isos                              shareUseCache="yes"     # Share exists on disk1
J----e                            shareUseCache="no"      # Share exists on disk1
l--------d                        shareUseCache="no"      # Share exists on disk1
M---a                             shareUseCache="yes"     # Share exists on cache, disk1
p-----------h                     shareUseCache="no"      # Share exists on disk1

When open those shares - I dont see any data.
I suppose all I can do is start sorting though the lost and found and put them in the right places. Any advice?

Also while Im here. Are the appdata, domains,system and Media supposed to be "unprotected"? I have only 1 cache drive, so Ive read thats the reason. Just confirming.

I think I'll move Media to Array but not 100% sure if that means it will be slower to access via Plex.

If your pool is not redundant, then shares with files on the pool are unprotected. The usual solution is to backup your appdata and VMs.

Linux 'file' command can tell you what kind of data is contained in a file, so you can try to open it in an appropriate application and see if you can identify it.
