No idea what could even cause this. I ended up with all of my data irreversibly lost, unfortunately (I didn't backup, but that's on me).\r\n\r\nI am using RDB in a small project. A single server running on Ubuntu, one database with 8 tables. Light load most of the time. Pretty much the most basic setup.\r\nThis setup was running perfectly fine for over a month now. Even after many reboots, I never ran into problems. However, today something really strange happened. After rebooting the machine it was running on... everything was gone. The rethinkdb_data directory is empty - all the table files and the metadata disappeared. Even the log. All there is in there now is a directory named \"tmp\" with nothing inside it as well. Upon trying to run RDB, I got an error saying the metadata file was not accessible - which makes sense, as it was no longer there.\r\n\r\nI have no clue what could cause this. I did shutdown RDB properly before rebooting, so I doubt it had to do with improper saving. I really just have no idea what could cause this, or even where to start looking into this from. Therefore I am leaving this here in case anyone has ideas for what may cause this.\r\n\r\nCheers."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/comments/368193867","html_url":"https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/6625#issuecomment-368193867","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/6625","id":368193867,"user":{"login":"srh","id":258437,"avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/258437?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh","html_url":"https://github.com/srh","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/srh/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-02-24T03:05:26Z","updated_at":"2018-02-24T03:05:26Z","author_association":"CONTRIBUTOR","body":"This would be a file system bug or user error or some other outside agency.
