Lost+found folder full of files from /blobs/

[node1]

Hi,
So one of my drives started to die. I’ve run e2fsck many times it corrected some errors, but blobs folder (where most of the data is stored) now 1/7 of it’s size. Rest 6/7 of files i see in lost+found folder.
Is there any way to reuse files, that are in lost+found folder?

2ns question is it worth to try and run this node with only 1/7 of data? Its more then year old, and i would like to rescue it.

yes, but not worth it.

RIP, its gone. new disk and singed identity.

Im sorry.

You may try to recover pieces using this approach:

How to get the name of a piece having its file

Wrote some Python code here to extract the path. I tested it on some of my piece files and couldn’t find one for which the computed file name was wrong, but obviously no warranties and your node might as well disqualify the moment you run this code Have fun.

However, it’s not a guarantee.

Thank you. Nice try. But did not worked out.
So data on this node is lost.
Is there any way to run this node again, starting from 0 data, but using same node ID/identity/reputation/history? Or i just start from blank everything?

NO.
new identity required.

@daki82 Your list is not full.
You forgot to mention, that i can reuse same computer, same room, same building, same internet connection, same IP and same knowledge
