I am experiencing an issue that I am a bit out of my depth on. I have a RAID5 array (32TB storage consisting of 3x16TB drives). I use a portion of this array to run my personal Plex server.
One folder should contain ~4000 files, since the issue began I can only see the first 400 files in the folder (in alphabetic order, not just random files). Before the issue occurred, I could see them all.
When I look at the total storage capacity of the array it shows the space as being used, but examining the folder only shows the 400 files combined filesize.
Weirdly, if I go through Plex though I can still stream all my files as if they were still there.
I use SoftRaid8 (on Windows11) and ran error checks on all my drives, it took forever but the drive themselves seem okay.
I did a full rebuild of my array (took 21 days) after Softraid said I had a sync issue but the problem still persists (the volume rebuild actually is hung on 15 seconds remaining for 3 days, but the log file says it actually finished 3 days ago).
Has anyone encountered anything similar? I'm just at a loss for how view the files so I can even pull them off the drive and start over again (likely with a mirrored setup) and I don't want to just continue using the array until I know what the heck is actually wrong.
