For the longest time (ever since I had set up unRaid) I had an issue with the files saved on the unRaid system showing up as hidden files when viewed in a microsoft windows environment.

Never really liked that. My solution had been to enable viewing of hidden and system files, but it was a workaround. Never really knew why this was happening, until now.

I came across this post on the Unraid Forums. Just need to add a couple of lines to discourage samba to make the files hidden and system files.

After doing some searching, came across this Wiki entry on the UnRAID site.

A step by step instruction on what to do is found on the UnRAID forum in this thread. Look at post #3.

The recovered data is in the lost+found folder. To access it you’ll need to telnet to the unraid machine, and look in /mnt/diskX (diskX is the drive that you are recovering from) and there will be a lost+found folder. I moved it to a user share, so I can sort through it from the network.
