Where are my missing 22591 files?They are probably in the lost+found directory.
I recently encounted an i/o error on my backup NAS drive, so I ran fsck.
It indicated a bad superblock so I ran sudo fsck -b 8193 /dev/sdc1 and answered y to fixes. Now I get this:
pi@rpi4b:~/Downloads/complete $ sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sdc1 e2fsck 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
NAS8: clean, 22591/244191232 files, 1356495135/1953506304 blocks pi@rpi4b:~/Downloads/complete $ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/NAS pi@rpi4b:~/Downloads/complete $ ls /mnt/NAS lost+found pi@rpi4b:~/Downloads/complete $ sudo ls /mnt/NAS lost+found pi@rpi4b:~/Downloads/complete $ sudo ls -a /mnt/NAS . .. lost+found pi@rpi4b:~/Downloads/complete $
Where are my missing 22591 files? Can I recover them? I am running
updated buster on my raspberry pi 4b w/ 4Gig.
Thanks.

/lost+found is normally empty on a clean partition with no disk errors
So, why do you think there are no files or directories on your NAS disk
since you apparently haven't run "sudo ls /"
How many files were you expecting to see?

which showed an empty disk has been mounted, save for lost+found (which I suggested they look *inside*, not just squint *at* as they've done so far!) >How many files were you expecting to see?
22591. As per fsck's claim that there are 22591 files in the fscked-up filesystem (hiding!)
Tips about restoring /home etc. may be a red-herring here, as there is
no indication there is anything *wrong* with /home, or the / filesystem, proceed
with caution.
Make very sure you know WHICH filesystem you are mounting/fscking/wiping/restoring
before doing it.
The best time to shoot yourself in the *other* foot, is when you are just recovering from shooting yourself in the first one!

I just got this 8TB drive for christmas and am hoping it is not
dying already.
I found that fsck did a better job than gparted for resurrecting drive.
Thanks to all. I found all the missing folders in lost+found with #inode-n= >umbers. It was easy to move those folders into the main directory and rena= >me to original names as best as I remember.
learned about lost+found in this adventure. I always wondered what it was us= >ed for.

Now, go and learn about "smartmon tools" and "smartctl" just to check
that the new drive isn't*actually* dying!:)

Better still, keep backups.
(The thread is puzzlingly titled. If they are backup files then instead
of trying to recover them, why not just make a new backup?)

things turned out ok.
A few years ago I lost backup files when my backup disk died. New disk -
new backup and no problem.

+10001!!!
smartmon, however, has been utterly unable to prevent or warn about
SD cards in a R-Pi dying without warning (once) or Pi USB memory sticks (twice) because that's not in its remit :(

Pedant.
Pedant.
Specifically, a pedant who didn’t lose anything when his Pi’s SD card failed without warning the other day.

Surely you lost the SD card?

But the pedantry was the strict 'one true stick' interpretation of what
is meant by 'backup'.

I have to say that I regard SD cards in Pis (or anywhere else for that >matter) as 'throw away when they break' devices. The whole thing (Pi
+ SD card) costs so little. On the other hand I've not managed to
actually break either a Pi or an SD card yet! :-)
You learn these things two ways.
Other people's near misses and disasters, or your own.
Saw a cartoon the other day along the lines of:
Tech Support:
Did you back up?
Scared customer:
Why? Is it going to explode?
Yes, it's an ambiguous word.

The Aviation Safety Letters issued by Transport Canada

I did kill an SD card... I had managed to compile and run the HINT benchmark suite (had to tweak the parameters a lot -- the examples were listed from back in the days of 233MHz Pentiums, and a 1+GHz processor just overran the benchmark) -- using free space on the SD card for swap. After that I configured a USB hard drive for swap...
l-) yes, it’s a very small coaster now. Also an hour or so figuring out
how to turn my backup back into a bootable system.
