Weird issue - moved or deleted files
Posted: February 10th, 2012, 5:07 am
HI All
Have a strange problem involving EITHER Sickbeard or Sabnzbd, really not sure which so I have to ask on both forums at once in te hope that someone notices it straight away...that will teach me to use two new bits of configured software at the same time.
Anyway, never even knew about sickbeard tilla few weeks ago...and once I stumbled upon it I had to start using it...and it works fantastically...or it did for the first few days...now god knows what has happened
To put it simply, sickbeard has been sourcing my downloads for me and sending them to SABnzbd with no issues, it then downloads them and I had a play with the renaming to enable me to just move them to my server(using sabnzbd) when finished and processed...however, last week, after finishing a download of a particular show, i went to bed thinking nothing special was needed to be done. However I went back to the same system the next day and found that most of the files from 5 different series folders have been completely deleted...it has left all of the season folders in place, and even some of the metadata, but the actual avi or mkv files are gone....totally...cant seem to find the files anywhere and I really have ahad a good look.
Part of me think they are still there, as the mount of files deleted, at least 400 would have been a decent chunk of space (upwards of 500 GB), and this doesnt seem to have been freed up on my server pool so I have no idea what might have happened...but I have no idea where...could they be hiddens omewhere...does sabnzbd have some fancy way of hiding files it thinks should be hidden.
Can anyone make any suggestions as to what sabnzbd might have done here...can supply logs if required, but though Id see if someone had any ideas beforehand, and basically incase I am doing somehting very stupid.
Thanks in advance guys, and happy Friday
