August 10, 20187 yr I just moved my tower yesterday and it was well and working till then. But in the morning one of labour was trying to reach out for a file and it went missing he complained. I thought it could be a disc issue, I checked it actually is. So how do i solve it guys. I dont understand how it went that way, its a new disc too. Handled it very safe even when it was moved am sure that there are no physical damages happened, because i carried it myself.the disc was Bought like 1 month back. Now i am need in need of the file also its job critical. An urgent help would be very much helpful. tower-diagnostics-20180809-2239.zip

You should have backups, unRAID is not a backup.

Now have run it as md4. please check the image. The next step? I have loaded array in normal mode and the issue remains the same now. Edited August 10, 20187 yr by ThePhotraveller
August 10, 20187 yr Since the file system remains unmountable you can't replay the log so the next step is to go back to Maintenance mode and run xfs_repair with the -L option. The wording of the message suggests this is a bad place to be; in practice the only files likely to be affected are any that were being written at the time the corruption happened.

Am hoping there was nothing written during that period. Can you exactly drop the command i need to run here? Actual noob here

August 10, 20187 yr Community Expert It can take a while, when it finishes it will look like the 1st xfs_repair screenshot you posted.

August 10, 20187 yr Community Expert It should start now, if it doesn't reboot, filesystem should be fixed.

August 10, 20187 yr Author and also may i know what wud have caused the issue ?? just to avoid in the future
August 10, 20187 yr Community Expert Filesystem corruption is mostly cause by unclean shutdowns, it can also be a hardware problem like bad RAM/controller/disk, but sometimes it just happens.
August 10, 20187 yr You said that you moved your server yesterday. It might be a coincidence but it's possible you disturbed something. Could you have removed the power before it had finished shutting down?

Could you have removed the power before it had finished shutting down? could be i guess. But i usually make sure to shut down properly. Yeah!! I could ve missed it. Lets wait and see if it repeats.
