What could have happened to cause the data loss?
Is there any way to recover the apps that were installed and are now missing?
It’s a nuisance to always have to install Docker… I would appreciate guidance on how to proceed…
I presume the data is on the disks…
Sincerely
This usually means ZimaOS can no longer read the JBOD storage metadata, so it marks the pool as “Damaged – Data has been lost.” In many cases the data is still on the disks, but the storage pool configuration became corrupted (often after a power loss, disk disconnect, or filesystem issue).
Before reinstalling anything, check whether the disks are still visible via SSH:
lsblk
and
blkid
ZimaOS apps are just Docker containers, and their persistent data normally lives in:
/DATA/AppData
If that folder still exists on the disks, your app data is likely still there even if the apps disappeared from the dashboard.
If you can, please share the output of lsblk and a screenshot of the Storage page, that will help determine whether the pool can be reattached.
