Greetings Running a Raid-10 array made up of 4 - 1 TB drives on a debian testing (11) system. mdadm - v4.1 - 2018-10-01 is the version being used. Some weirdness is happening - - - vis a vis - - - I have one directory (not small) that has disappeared. I last accessed said directory (still have the pdf open which is how I could get this information) 'Last accessed 2020-01-19 6:32 A.M.' as indicated in the 'Properties' section of the file in question.
I assume you've looked at lsof? https://www.linux.com/news/bring-back-deleted-files-lsof/ If it is a software problem, it just as likely, if not more likely, that it is a file system problem rather than a raid problem. You don't mention what file system. You're possibly also actually looking at data in the in-memory disk cache rather than what's actually stored on disk given there's been no reboot. Is there anything suspicious in dmesg?
