I would speculate that it has happened because it was one of the most

With that, when the glitch happened, something was writing to the

It's possible I shut my computer off during a write, and we have had
several power cuts in the past few days. Damn.
I assume all your image files were in subdirectories, and not in a
single directory. Otherwise, I'd be guessing that Drobo might have some
problem with a directory containing too many files. (32768=2^15, so,
with 30k+ of files that you'd have in that, there could be some
16-bit-limit on the directory entries number)
Yeah, everything is in sub directories. I'm betting I managed to do this
to myself.
Fortunately, my old Drobo fired right up, and it gives me everything
until I retired it in late 2015, and I'm good from early 2016 on my
working drive. I might have lost a few files between late 2015 and early
2016, but I don't recall having shot anything of great social or
political importance during that time.
The old Drobo is an origian USB, and I am copying nearly a terabyte of
data from it to my newer machine. This looks like it will be going most
of the weekend.
Sorry to hear about your trouble and good luck with the restoring!
Hope it will go smoothly.
It seems to be going good so far. Slowly, but goodly.
Thanks
