After an electric shortage one disk lost some data. Because I have backup I simply and there was a lot of non-important data, I decided to destroy the partition and start fresh.

The disk work ok for some days, and suddenly all the information was gone...

Checking on smartctl looks everything is ok, but running fsck (actually I tried with esfsck) show tons of errors.

This is smartctl output:

$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb

There is an issue? It's the disk faulty?

Thanks in advance

  • Friendly reminder: if you have important data that is critical, also keep a copy that is physically located somewhere else (ideally somewhere far away) so that if your device gets fried your data will be safe. Also, RAID is not a backup. Lastly, a (good) UPS may have helped here. Sadly, I have no idea if the drive is safe to use or not. But those are some tips for the future!

Power supply was not ok and when several disk started to do intensive work, the communication started to fail.
