November 18, 201510 yr So my system (6.1.3) became unresponsive and I couldn't telnet in, and had to do a hard reboot. Booted it back up and its checking parity. Strange thing is, a lot of the files I moved around/deleted are now back (I spent several hours yesterday cleaning up using MC) - ie sitting in the root folder again. Many files are now missing (or maybe stuck in a different folder?). I notice this when I checked PLEX and a lot of new stuff I put on the server as well as moved around are now showing up empty. Sure enough, the file itself is now gone. This makes no sense. A lot of stuff I've moved around seems ok. But because of the volume, I can't check everything. Anyone have any idea why this may happen?

Anyone have any idea why this may happen? Were you moving files by doing it in a user share rather than between disks? (Using mc to move files around using the user share as either the source or the destination has resulted in data loss in the past.)

November 18, 201510 yr Author Oh shoot...YES...i've been using MC on the user shares... Ugh....now I need to worry about corruption over this *sigh*
November 18, 201510 yr Oh shoot...YES...i've been using MC on the user shares... Ugh....now I need to worry about corruption over this *sigh* If both source and target of a copy are both user shares or both disk shares then you will not encounter this problem. It only occurs when you mix a disk share and a user share in the same operation.
November 18, 201510 yr Author They were both from user to user and I still had this problem. I knew I had random duplicates of files years back, maybe it was related to this.
