Hi,

I’ve faced the situation that one of the folders has “disappeared” and it is in the trash bin now, and user states that he has not deleted it.
When I check the filesystems using SSH – it is still on the filesystem, but the end user sees it in the bin, and the content of this folder is not visible (still on the disk and visible via SSH), only the folder is (named/visible) in the trash bin.

Questions:
  • What happens on the files system if this happens?
  • How to restore the folder from the trash bin (end user is connected via SMB)?

Thanks, Andrey
