Empty site folder

[Peter Knight]

Hi 

One of my VPS had a meltdown at the weekend. The host suggested I FTP into a partition where my sites are temporarily located.

I have 4 PW sites on this server and all of them seem intact in terms of the directory structure etc.

1 site in particular though has an empty /site/ directory 

Normally I'd expect to find assets, templates and files etc in there

Does this signify a bad backup on the hosts behalf or some corruption or maybe a hack?

I've never heard of it before and it seems very odd.

Tricky to say for sure, but if you are lucky it might be a failed restore from a successful backup. Are permissions on the /site/ folder as you would expect?

Hi Dave

The host just reverted with

It seems the files were corrupted and were removed while running the FSCK on booting.

I'm chasing them for a backup. I normally do my own backups but this server was so new I'd yet to setup any automation.
