EXACTLY THAT. In fact the data is intact and I have already backed-up everything to another disk. >> Right before the server crashed I noticed MySQL at 100% o several CPUs >> and the server was on it's knees, so I'm wondering.... was this an >> attack? is it possible that Apache or MySQL moved the files?? >> >> I mean the jails are there, I'm even backing them up right now.... but >> how did these directories move here????? >> >> Anybody has ANY logical explanation??? > > Journaling is new to me.

I mean something got screwed up but the data was not lost.
