randomly missing files
Hi folks,
I know someone's going to respond with "always make backups.." i know i know.. but this is different, so bear with me..
I have an old RNDP6000-100 that was upgraded to the latest readynas OS 6.10.8. I've also upgraded with a xeon 3230 (runs great! I dunno why so many concern themselves with heat), and 4GB of ram.
My drive setup is as follows: 4TB HDDs x4 in raid5 for storage, and 512GB SSD's x2 in Raid0 for caching of nzb's and torrents during reassembly (for speed, works great). downloads are processed on the SSD's for speed and then are automatically moved to the raid5 HDD's for permanent storage. I'm not concerned if the ssd's fail because they're meant as temporary storage and to eliminate the thrashing the HDDs would face if i used them for caching..
The nas's primary use is for movie/show storage to play out via DLNA to my tv's and obviously data protection.
Every so often, a movie or two that i know i once had will just "disappear".. so, i'm forced to try downloading it again.. needless to say it's worrisome because files shouldn't just "disappear".
before you say "use a backup", if i were to set it up to rsync to another location, i'd think that file would disappear on the backup as well..
sorry for the long-winded post

Are they disappearing from the temporary SSD or the the hard disk?
If this is the hard disk, then maybe enable snapshots for the share, and then see if the missing file shows up in one of the snapshots. I suggest custom snapshots,so you have control over retention. (Don't enable snapshots on the SSD, since they will result in extreme disk fragmentation on a torrent folder).
Have you looked for disk or btrfs issues in the log?
