Hi guys,
I haven't found something as much as I could find searching for it. I just wanted to watch a movie and my plex gave me an error message. First I checked truescale in the Dataset is unlocked and show 7.79 TB as usual. Then checked my ubuntu server where plex is running as a docker container and found out that the smb share is mounted but empty. Ok ssh to truescale and changed to /mnt/zpool1/movies, where all my movies are located... empty....
Last time I watched a movie was like one week ago and I haven't really changed something since then, neither on the truescale server nor on my docker server. Hope someone here has and idea what happened?
I have some snapshots from last month but they are also empty. For all datastores with important information I have a backup but not for the movies. I don't care about losing those movies, I know the chance is here without a backup, but I just want what happened. I hadn't any issues with my disc or whatever reason there is for losing data.

Ok I think I found the problem, I just restarted my storage server and it looks like the movie dataset could not mount. It showed a permission denied message nevertheless I was able to mount it with zfs mount zpool1/movies, and as expected all movies are back.

Strange maybe this is a small bug or permission problem...

I think this thread can be closed :smile:

If its a bug and others encounter it... we'd like to find it.
