Data lost: Restoring from snapshots?

[Davvo]

Now the problem, why did my music disappear from TrueNAS scale?

Some of us are not yet seers. Accidental deletion?

Nope. I was playing music all day, after song was over I wanted to change things up. I opened up my network share folder just to see most of my music was missing.

 

[Davvo]

Were you using any particular program?

 

[opensourceFTW]

No but I had clamav and mealie running. Plex was disabled.

 

[Davvo]

iirc clamav might have given issues on another thread, but honestly I have very little clue.

No but I had clamav

You could check the logs.

Is the movie folder mapped as s location for a docker container or something like this?

Otherwise I would assume you accidentally deleted the files or you they don't go missing by themselves.

DELETE PLEX. I had restored all of my missing data just to see it disappear again once I enabled plex. I am very unhappy again. Now if I could get Jellyfin to work, just gives me circles when trying to add libraries.

I am trying to copy my data from the last snapshots I setup as share but now I am getting an error while trying to mound the shares

Code:

mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting

Odd thing though, I can mount my file share and the permissions for each share are the same.

Did you make changes to the allowed hosts and networks on your NFS share?

Don't make this harder on you than it needs to be. Use SMB if NFS doesn't work, just to get your data back.
Create backups! It's nice that you were able to restore your data, however having a working backup should be easier.

If you want help on Plex / Jellyfish you need to share more information on how you set it up. I can't imagine Plex is deleting library contents by itself

 

[Davvo]

That's likely you placing plex in the wrong directory/placing your data in the wrong directory. Hostpath validation has been implemented to avoid these situations.

Before of after I lost data, again?

I am going to sink $800 on HDDs for my new backup server.

I will ask for Jellyfin help under apps.

I put my media in the right directory. Thanks for the hostpath validation suggestion. I will look into it.

I am an idiot, I did not share the new dataset I created with a new snapshot. Ooops.

 

[Davvo]

It happens.

 

[opensourceFTW]

Well my media showed back up on my plex folder. I am confused.

 

[Davvo]

Please cleanly list your shares, your datasets, and your ACL.

 

[opensourceFTW]

Root is disabled so I have another admin account.

 

[Davvo]

Whay are you sharing the plex folder? It's not something that should be exposed; iirc in SCALE (similarly to CORE) you have to set a dataset for your apps: are you using the /pool dataset as the apps' dataset? That might be the issue.

 

[opensourceFTW]

I shared the plex folder because I was adding media. Plus plex was giving me errors, would not allow me to add my own library. I deleted plex, I will try to use Jellyfin.

 

[Davvo]

It is suggested against keeping other files besides the app's ones inside the app's folder; instead, it's suggested to have a separate dataset (which can be shared) for ie the library.
This is true for emby, plex, jellyfin, nextcloud, everything.
