7.2.4 All drives filesystem randomly changed from XFS to NTFS after server crash/freeze

Featured Replies

Server decided to freeze one day. It did so for about 12 hours before I decided to shut it down and boot it back up, holding down the power button on the case.

Getting back into the server, my drives are now displaying as NTFS, when they were set up and running as XFS. All my data seems to be in completely normal.

SMART reports are coming back clean with no errors for HDD's and SSD cache.

After this happened, some of my docker containers refuse to start.

My current in-brain solution is to backup all my data to a separate drive, and completely start my server again from scratch, as this makes no sense whatsoever and it seems no on else has had this problem before.

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated :)

lsblk shows some drives with multiple partitions. Were these taken from a Windows system without wiping the partitions?

I bought the hdd's second hand, but did reformat twice them before putting them into the build. Honestly, I didn't check to see if they had partitions, as I thought reformatting them and Unraids Disk-clear when adding a drive would be enough. Would this be causing the issue? Everything has been functioning fine for about 2 months before this. Thanks for your reply.

This seems impossible; they must have been using NTFS from the beginning. My suggestion would be to back them up and clear the partitions, then reformat as XFS. You can clear the partitions by doing a new config, then clicking on each disk and "ERASE"
