Friendly reminder to never forcebly shutdown your PC
I just lost 44 GB of data that I downloaded in the past two hours. My PC started to get laggy and it got stuck so I just shut it down believing that all will be well since the data has already been written to disk..
You're viewing a single thread.
Do you have a RAID array of some sort? As other pointed out it's odd for so much data to be lost with just a hard reboot.
Almost all of the data is certainly *somewhere *on the hard drive. It sounds like it was a write to the file system records that lost the record of where they are.
I have no clue what a RAID is to be honest. I was using a VM with 6 GB RAM to do some work in another operating system and passed through my physical hard drive (Host to Guest) when suddenly my VM got stuck.
