Hello to everyone , lately i have an issue which i can not solve or explain exactly.
Basically i have locked one of the servers at Read-Only (using it as storage only). Before few weeks transferred few files on it , and by default did db-to-file and file-to-db checks to see can the server locate all of the files.
So far so good. So i changed the no download delete option to 365 days and left the server as is.
However noticed that few files for some reason start to disappear randomly .
And today decided to do again file-to-db check (went ok without any error or new files added to the "Files Deleted" part in sql. However when i did db-to-file check and it deleted ~20 files (actually 3 files but with 20 symlinks to them).
Now i`m wondering has anyone experienced something like this ?
Without any changes and some original file to disappear even if that server isn't in use (upload/convert that is).
Would appreciate any answers or tips on this.
XFileSharing Pro - Random dissapearing files
Same here
We had similar complaints from users. i have my download inactive set to 30 days but some user claim some files that got uploaded the yesterday was deleted (more than 20 files from him)
So we have set some record keeping such as upload_date and last_access date on the db. So I can figure if cron.pl delete files by some error.
Any other file hosts have this issue?

Hello venture89 ,
No i haven't , files still disappear , i`m even considering to make sql backup before doing DB to File consistency check .
My settings at the moment are :
Delete files anonymous = 0 , registered = 365 , premium = 365 .
Wondering to make anonymous 365 too , even that there is no anonymous upload on my servers .

afdah , this 365 is set for a reason.
The question is not do i want to delete inactive files , but why does some files disappear without a reason , or at least to find the reason to can fix it.
Otherwise that setting is usually at 30 , just this time i need it higher to can do some other changes before turning it back to 30.

its true that some files are disappearing. before i flushed the cron.pl i have 7500+ files and after flushing only 7429 files left. So its really gone. I can't tell which files were lost. Ive been manually flushing it so i dont know how many files im losing in the past 2 months.
hope admin can explain this to us.
now imafraid of clearing the cron
