Tuta Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 All, I have a 16TB encrypted drive on Google. At sometime, over the past week, folders have gotten corrupted and are no longer accessible to me. Some remain viewable/explorable. I have attempted to run chkdsk to hopefully repair whatever issue there might be, but the process hangs at the same point each time I attempt. Are there any other suggestions to try and regain access to the data and folder structure? (Although the data is replaceable, it does amount to a not-insignificant time-sink for me to recover from other places.) Thanks for any help!

0 srcrist Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Chkdsk can take many hours to repair if there are problems with the system. Are you sure that it's hanging? You'll really need to let it do it's thing, if it can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tuta Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 I will kick another session off right now and let it run overnight if need be. I did notice while viewing drive in windows explorer that the it shows as completely full 15.9 TB used -- almost nothing free. I don't remember that from the last few days... I reviewed the size reported through Google, and it still reports just the 8 TB that I recall as being used previous to all this. thank you!

0 Tuta Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Update: -- still in process after 11 hours. Number of index entries processed is getting higher, but it must be super slow going. Glad I only have a 16TB drive.... can't imagine what anything larger would take to process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 srcrist Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Your file data is probably largely still intact. What it appears that people lost was their NTFS data itself--which is why so much is missing. The data is still on the disk, but the file system data required to access it was corrupted by google's outage. It isn't a problem with an easy fix, unfortunately. You'll have to try data recovery software to see if it can restore the files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LicQuyd Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Well this completely removed about 5TB of info. Ok, it is what it is now, and I am not going to try to match ever file to the filename. Going Forward with Stable bit: Do I used it, or do I not use it? If I used it, what is a better method, possible different format??? Any advice?

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I know it may be a bit late, but this may help: Take the drive offline in disk management Turn off all pinning in the CloudDrive UI Clear the local cache, and wait until it's down to 0 bytes (literally empty) Bring the cloud drive back online from disk management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
Tuta
All,
I have a 16TB encrypted drive on Google. At sometime, over the past week, folders have gotten corrupted and are no longer accessible to me.
Some remain viewable/explorable.
I have attempted to run chkdsk to hopefully repair whatever issue there might be, but the process hangs at the same point each time I attempt.
Are there any other suggestions to try and regain access to the data and folder structure?
(Although the data is replaceable, it does amount to a not-insignificant time-sink for me to recover from other places.)
Thanks for any help!
