Truly weird mirrored folders

[NASr710]

So I don't know what I did, but I seem to have created a mirrored copy of my root directory within a folder inside one of my main folders. If I deleted a file in the mirrored folder, it deletes it in the main folder and vice versa.

I have never seen, or experienced this before. It almost seems like a glitch. The folders that are mirrored are all my main folders on my server and it is mirrored into a folder I was trying to delete.

It almost seem like an alias, but they are not.

Any ideas?

What are the outputs of these two commands:

zfs mount

mount

So I just checked again and today the mirror is gone. Disapeared overnight. All this happened when I unzipped a folder, and it created the unzipped folder in the same directory. when I went in that folder I noticed the mirror of my main directory on my server.

Is there a way of creating the mirror of a folder or file? that seems like it could be dangerous as you could accidentally delete a file you thought was a copy. With a shortcut, there is a symbol that indicates what that is. Here there were none (ie it looked like any other folder). So if I had deleted it, I would have deleted all my files.

Incidentally, is there a way of undeleting a file you accidentally delete on the server?

Anyone ever had this happen to them?
