check if you have any more of those recovery reports in the mongo log, it should report progress

I think I have sent you all the existing logs

Now I suspect what happened is it stayed on another node, and your k8s never took care of that

That somehow the PV never worked and it was all local inside the pod

I wonder if it's completely lost

In that case, I think it is stuck on a previous Node, I can;t think of any other reason.
Do you have something else on the same PV that was lost ? like api server configuration?

I will investigate a bit more and then check if I can recover

thank you for your time and support, I appreciate it!

Oh dear, I think your theory might be correct, and this is just the mongo preallocating storage.
Which means the entire /opt/trains just disappeared

Could it be it was never allocated to begin with ?

what do you mean?

Damn 😞

Now I suspect what happened is it stayed on another node, and your k8s never took care of that

that's an interesting theory

No worries, and I hope you manage to get that backup.

ohh sec

azure

so if the node went down and then some other node came up, the data is lost

I hope so

Could it be it was never allocated to begin with ?

Meaning the node restarted (or actually moved)

no that's for sure not

(I mean new logs, while we are here did it report any progress)

but the PV seems to be just a path to the labeled node

nothing for now

backup?

so if the node went down and then some other node came up, the data is lost

That might be the case. where is the k8s running ? cloud service ?

yea the api server configuration also went away

yea the api server configuration also went away

okay that proves it

🤞

see (1) and (4)

And if this is the case, that would explain the empty elastic as well
