I have a real head scratcher.

I have a 18tb external connected to a Linksys WRT32X, running dd-wrt. HDD is formatted in ext4. I’m running samba to share the drive on the network, for a plex server. After rebooting my router for a network related issue, all data that had been written to the drive in the past 2 months vanished. Not only that , but tv shows that I had deleted magically reappeared?

It’s like the drive entered a worm hole. I have the data backed up on another drive, but am curious what would cause this? Rma the hdd?
