Hello,
I have been running my FreeNAS server for several years now and have been encountering a strange issue I'd finally like to address. I have searched this forum and the web in general and I'm unable to see if anyone has had the same problem.
The issue: In one of my volumes, directory names keep getting changed to random strings of characters. This can either happen in my Storage > Music > directory, where artist names are changed. Or inside those artist folders, album names get changed.
When the folder names get changed, the contents of the folder are untouched and there isn't any corruption of the data, just the directory name.
The names end up looking like this:
1S8R1J~W
1P6BFB~5
MVHMK~0
There does not appear to be any sort of rhyme or reason to the new directory names. Its not affected my data, so its really just been a nuisance, going back and renaming folders. But it does make me worry.
Does anyone have any idea what would cause this to occur? Seems to be mostly just in this one dataset, but not my others.
Specs of my server:
HP Proliant ML10v2 (https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docIy d=emr_na-c04619142)
8gb ECC ram
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz (4 cores)
FreeNAS-11.2-U6 (the issue has occurred since v10 and before, I think)
1 WD Green Drive 2TB
1WD Blue Drive 2TB
1 WD Red Drive 4tb (I have two more Reds to slot in, once I have the time to open the box and do the resilver)
Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated! Please let me know if more info is needed from me. Thanks for the help!
