First time posting, please let me know if I need to change or clarify anything. Sorry if I get some terms wrong or I stuff it up a little!
I have FreeNAS-11.1-U7 running on an old PC that I run a Plex server off. I haven't used it in a long time and I does not store anything critical.
I went to remove a file filled with tv kids shows and place it on a hard drive just to free up some space. I cut the file from the folder in my Plex volume and pasted it in a hard-drive plugged in to my PC. The file disappeared from the Plex volume and appeared in the hard-drive but no copying commenced. I waited a good 20 min with nothing happening so I rebooted the PC. After the reboot the file was appearing empty in the hard-drive and it seem all the data is still in the Plex volume as the 'used space' remained the same. But the folder does not appear in the Plex volume so I can no longer access that data.
I dont have a snapshot to role back to as its wasnt turned on (im not sure why, I was under the impression I had set snapshots up my I must have made a mistake, totally my bad), so Im wondering if someone knows of another way to recover the contents?
Im not sure what other info I can add to assist in clarifying the issue so please let me know and ill greatfuly give as much much explanations as possible!
