All the data that shows up in /storage2 is gone from /storage as far as I can see. This was a simple highlight many directories and then move function in midnight commander. Nothing exotic except for how much data was being done. This is a very simple pool, nothing fancy all default, just a file dump for the most part. I can't figure out how to recover the data, a scrub locked the pool randomly, no error, just can't get in or ctrl-c/z the ls. It only happens on /storage which is why I wanted to first test moving things out to /storage2 to see if that made a difference. Dario
