NoobSpy Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Hi Guys, I hope someone can help me fix this problem that is stressing me out here. I made a huge mistake on my production server which hold my graphic design files. Yesterday I tried to expand my cache drive storage space by adding and nvme 1TB drive to to the cache pool. After I noticed this would not give the result I wanted because it became a mirror. I stopped the array and removed the nvme from the pool. I formatted the nvme and added it to a separate pool and started the array. Now I noticed that my original cache drive could not be read by Unraid and Unraid was spitting out errors it could not find the cache drive. I lost one good days of work from this cache because my backup run at night. No I absolutely did not format the original cache by mistake. Come today I have check the the cache drive with: sudo btrfs check /dev/sdc1 Result: cache and super generation don't match, space cache will be invalidated. There is still data on the disk looking at the bytes being used. sudo btrfs check --repair /dev/sdc1 Result: Unable to find blocks group 0 Unable to find blocks group 0 Unable to find blocks group 0 Help -- I NEED this drive mounted. Even willing to accept some dataloss in other area's How can I still mount sdc1 with blocks group 0 missing? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

ChatNoir Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Maybe don't try to kiss people while being sick in this period of time. 😷 But good that you got your files back. 👍 Edited September 12, 2020 by ChatNoir Quote Link to comment
