After move a bunch of images to one folder to another, suddenly my entire directory disappear

beraldo · 4 May 2024 23:45

I got a lot of images inside a folder called “ads”, i then pressed ctrl+a inside this folder then ctrl+c, then created a new called “test”, entered the this folder called “test” and pressed ctrl+v, the plasma freezes and after a seconds everything got normal but, the folder called “ads” show a message called “Folder is empty”, and when i type ls insides, the terminal return me this error

".": Invalid argument (os error 22)

the “ads” folder had almost 1gb, now is 4.0 kib

what happens? and how can i get my images back?

Is there maybe more to the story ?

Was this a mounted partition?

Are you out of space or memory?

Besides which … your sequence of events meant you did nothing to the original files.

(you only state ctrl+a [select all] and then ctrl+v [paste])

beraldo · 5 May 2024 00:05

sorry, english isn’t my mother tongue
i copy then paste, using ctrl+c and ctrl+v
i’m not out of space or memory, got 16gb of ram and 37% of my 1TB is occupied

i selected all images, copy, created a folder, entered the folder, paste, everything freezes and my folder was totally empty

cscs · 5 May 2024 00:08

Copy should also mean the original files are retained.

Even if there was a problem pasting … it should not impact the source files.

Was some form of root or ‘sudo’ at play?

Is this an external or mounted partition? If so how is it mounted?

We might begin also with some system information.

inxi -Farz

I will also include a guide for things like how to format code etc.

beraldo · 5 May 2024 00:11

no, i don’t even used the terminal, i used after to check if typing ls it should display something, but only show a message

“.”: Invalid argument (os error 22)

is a mounted partition

Did you check your Trash directory, in case of accidental deletion?

…or, check surrounding ‘folder’ heirarchies in case these files were inadvertantly dropped into another location?

Otherwise, os error 22 (or errno 22 in Python) can often indicate unsupported characters in a path or file name; which might also be consistent with Dolphin seeming to freeze upon entering the directory.

I don’t know which method to recommend at this point, but a recovery tool of some kind might be in order.

Is it a native Linux filesystem?
…or was it perhaps EXFAT or NTFS on a removable USB disk?

On another topic:

You have no swap space defined;
you might wish to change that at some point.

Cheers.

I don’t know

if you had e.g. 16G worth of files - a guess - OOM killer kicked the process - a known problem when no swap is available

Restore from backup

beraldo · 5 May 2024 15:55

the Trash was the first thing i tried but nothing was there, i also tried ctrl+z but nothing happens, I turn on my computer this morning and the folder was the same i described before.

I created this also, i don’t know why i didn’t created before when i first installed manjaro

Swap:
  Kernel: swappiness: 60 (default) cache-pressure: 100 (default) zswap: yes
    compressor: zstd max-pool: 20%
  ID-1: swap-1 type: file size: 4 GiB used: 0 KiB (0.0%) priority: -2
    file: /SWAP.img

manjaro is my native filesystem

beraldo · 5 May 2024 15:57

i restored from my backup, but my worry is this thing happens in something that i didn’t backup yet, and if happens how can i “Undo”.

could the lack of swap caused this?
