Hi guys!
I had an error when I started one of my servers and it turned out to be something wrong with the file system...I ran fsck and it ran for a bit and then came up Clean...

The problem is I don't see it in Windows?

I tried checking from a live Debian cd and I can open the drive but not the section that has the files the directory is showing empty...

From the live cd I ran:


If I run the same for sda it comes up errors...in Swedish so not posting...

What options have I to save my files?

I had them mounted as smb shares and now they are not available....
If I open it from a live cd gparted is showing the disk as having 640.53GB being used but if I mount it the folder is empty....?

OK...I have never had this happen to me before....

If I show the hidden files on a live cd then it shows "lost+found" and in that folder a new folder had been created called #59768833....in that folder all my files are....weird!!
I have now connected a new drive externally and backing up files to that....
I will then reformat the old drive and double check it is OK before putting my files back....

This is the strangest thing I have been apart of in all the years working with Linux...

Hi again!
Yes....for the most part I do have a backup...was in the middle of doing backups when this occurred ...good timing.....
I will be checking files later...just wanted to see what I haven't backed up elsewhere.....


Thanks for your concern!

It would be nice to know what caused this blip.....?!!

Hi Again!
Well, the exact same thing has happened to another drive on the same server....getting really fed up with this....
Going to reinstall OMV and start over..

OMV has relisted my one of my drives by disk-id and now it isn't available...
It is one thing if I want to use disk-by id but why has OMV done it for me and then that disk isn't available...?
