October 22, 201213 yr Hello all, I have an unraid system, it has been working for 4 or more years now. Over that time I have lost many drives. Each time I replaced the drive and let it rebuild. I didn't THINK I lost any data. Recently we were looking through our photos and noticed several folders missing with photos in them.. we know they were there at one point but not now. I found the lost+Found folder and in it is two files... one is 2.5 gigs and the other 4 megs. How do I look in there to see if my photos are there.. they have no extension. any help is appriecieted.
October 22, 201213 yr basically, you rename them to have an extension that might be correct and then attempt to open them. A 2.5Gig file is likely to be a movie and not a picture. You might want to run a reiserfsck --check on the /dev/mdX drive, just to make sure the file system is OK. Joe L.
October 23, 201213 yr Author I had two disks go bad. I couldn't tell because the stupid dots are colored green or red, I am color blind so they look the same to me. Honestly couldn't they have spent an extra 4 minues of programming and made the dots a red X or a green dot.. to help the millions of colorblind people. A reboot did not help but a full power cycle got back one drive... which made the data re-appear. I am now running in degraded mode and will have to replace the drive soon.
October 23, 201213 yr Right-click on the dot in question, and select "view image" and then check the file name in the URL.
