Hey Stephen.... long time no see.
The health of the disks are fine. So I am seeing these files when i browse the root of the nas in Windows (\\ipaddress\c\lost+found). There is a lost+found directory and if i delete the files they go away, but then once i refresh the directory they come right back.
I used Putty to ssh directly into the DUO. From the root I saw the lost+found folder. I cd'd into that folder but don't see any files.
I could back everything up to another nas and do the restore but that seems like a drastic solution.

Do you mean the OS partition, or did you also look on /c for the lost+found folder?
