### Describe your issue in detail

Everything was fine, I rebooted my machine and now I cannot access my files.

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/2X/0/0b0facd4753333fb044f44546f7fccefc2d7e592.png)

I can see the files however:

### What version of Cells are you using?

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/2X/4/4cacb8b8ae6b8d09d97d23c6f7f47331a8c5f4b2.png)

### What is the server OS? Database name/version? Browser name or mobile device description (if issue appears client-side)?

Linux pydio 5.10.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.179-1 (2023-05-12) x86\_64 GNU/Linux

Pydio version: 4.2.3  
Mongodb version:

```auto
root@pydio:/# mongo --version
MongoDB shell version v4.4.6
Build Info: {
    "version": "4.4.6",
    "gitVersion": "72e66213c2c3eab37d9358d5e78ad7f5c1d0d0d7",
    "openSSLVersion": "OpenSSL 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018",
    "modules": [],

        "distarch": "x86_64",
        "target_arch": "x86_64"
    }
}

```

Mariadb version:

```auto
mariadb from 11.0.2-MariaDB, client 15.2 for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

```

I am running all of these on docker containers:

```auto
version: '3'

services:
  pydio:
    image: pydio/cells:latest
    container_name: pydio_cells
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./cells:/var/cells
      - /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells:/var/cells/data
    depends_on:

    network_mode: host

  mongodb:
    image: mongo:4.4.6 # cpu doesnt support v5+
    container_name: pydio_mongodb
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=XXXX
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=XXXX
    volumes:
      - ./mongodb:/data/db
      - ./mongo-init-scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d # any .js file in this dir will get ran on init
    network_mode: host

```

### What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already?

I have backedup the database earlier today by running

```auto
cp -r pydio .pydio_backup1_6_27_2023

```

I have then tried to copy the current database to a tmp dir and use the backed up version of the databases, but it did not work.

Also when this first occurred (after the reboot) I was not on the latest versions of mariadb nor pydio, I have tried running the version before the latest on both as well as the current latest version.

Thanks for nice and precise description of your setup. Yet you forgot the “most” important, the logs 🙂

What do the logs say in Cells upon reboot, could you find any hint there?

Is the directory **/mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells** accessible by Pydio user?  
In my experience, this error used to happen on two occasions:

1. There were a large number of files on a network share, or a locally mounted remote storage - slow reading caused errors in Pydio.
2. There are a large number of log files in /var/cells/services/pydio.grpc.log, which caused frequent errors.

It is:

In my experience, this error used to happen on two occasions:

> 1. There were a large number of files on a network share, or a locally mounted remote storage - slow reading caused errors in Pydio.

I have this mounted like this in my fstab:

```auto
//192.168.1.206/moms-data /mnt/moms-data cifs credentials=cifs,uid=1000,gid=1000,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0

```

For if there is a large number of files, I guess so (87,000 files)? I am uploading the files pydio is accessing on my nas (hosted in truenas):

> 1. There are a large number of log files in /var/cells/services/pydio.grpc.log, which caused frequent errors.

I have no logs:

hi, try manually removing the .minio.sys/config folder (move it to a temporary location) and restart, it should be recreated

I did that, but it doesnt look like it did anything. The files do differ, but I am still unable to see anything in cells:

1. Check that the Pydio user (not root) can access your files:

```auto
su - pydio
cd /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal

```

1. Count the number of files in folders personal and thumbs

```auto
find /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal -type f | wc -l
find /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs -type f | wc -l

```

1. Check if you can open the workspace _common-files_ via Pydio’s UI.

First of all, enable [verbose logging](https://pydio.com/en/docs/cells/v4/system-logs) ( **debug** log level).

**Important** : Remove secrets (IPs, API keys, e-mail addresses, etc) from Pydio Cells log files before posting it.  
**Note** : English is not my native language, so you may have difficulty understanding what I write.

I think this error is related to a serious bug Pydio has managing large datasources.  
My suggestion for confirming it:  
1 - Stop Pydio;  
2 - Rename the “personal” and “thumbs” folders and create empty folders with same names;

```auto
mv /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/_personal_
mv /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/_thumbs_
mkdir /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal && chown pydio: /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal
mkdir /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs && chown pydio: /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs

```

3 - Start Pydio;  
4 - Check if you can upload a file to Personal Files;  
5 - Now stop Pydio and restore your files by renaming your folders again.

```auto
mv /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal.tmp
mv /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs.tmp
mv /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/_personal_ /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal
mv /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/_thumbs_ /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs

```

This is only a test, it will not solve your problem. But it may confirm my suspicion.

Hi @bsikar

[![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/2X/0/0b0facd4753333fb044f44546f7fccefc2d7e592.png) ](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/2X/0/0b0facd4753333fb044f44546f7fccefc2d7e592.png)

That means the datasource services has problem.  
The datasource services depend on “object service” which is minio

[![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/2X/7/76966e69265d362645eca41a9a689c6df4cfce20.png) ](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/2X/7/76966e69265d362645eca41a9a689c6df4cfce20.png)

In this screenshot, I don’t see the **.minio.sys/buckets/personal** and **.minio.sys/buckets/pydiods1** …  
I think it’s the source of the problem.

Could you please verify in **/mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/.minio.sys** , is there these buckets?

Hello sorry for the late reply, I was a bit busy yesterday registering for classes for university. I did steps 1-3 and I was able to see my files again, very confused on why that worked.

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/2X/0/081e498b48fd484828ea6a15ad510e372df7dc8a.png)

I was able to do step 4 and upload a file. Should I still do step 5? It seems that I can access all of the files, but I am very confused on how and why mving those folders worked

EDIT 1:

I can view these files, but cannot download them (except for the iso that I just uploaded)

EDIT 2:

I ran the step 5 commands and now its behaving like it did before:

Hello, in that screenshot I ran this command:

```auto
find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -exec sh -c 'echo "$1" && ls -lah "$1/" | head -n 5' sh {} \; | less

```

Thats why not all of the `.minio.sys` is showing, but I do have those folders:

Step 5 restores your files to their original location. So I think you’d better do it.  
Although you are seeing your files, have you tried to open any of them?  
Make sure you can open/download them. If not, perform step 5.

Hello I did step 5 since it didnt let me download or open the files. I now can still not see anything like before.

I hope Pydio developers will fix it soon. For now, I have a temporary solution (workaround).  
1 - Stop Pydio;  
2 - Create empty folders;

```auto
mkdir -p /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal.empty
chown pydio: /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal.empty
mkdir -p /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs.empty
chown pydio: /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs.empty

```

3 - Mount the datasources personal and thumbs on empty folders

```auto
mount --bind /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal.empty /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal
mount --bind /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs.empty /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs

```

4 - Start Pydio;  
5 - Unmount the empty folders/restore your files;

```auto
umount /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/personal
umount /mnt/moms-data/.pydio-cells/thumbs

```

Pydio Cells will be able to read your files again.

I dont know if that is working:

Maybe I should wait until it is patched or I could help the developers on it, is there a ticket or an issue made already?
