i have 2012 mac mini 2 external wd hard drives hooked (usb3.0). both drives formatted hfs+.
when first boot, hard drives fine. disk utility says verify fine, no action taken if attempt repair them, etc. well.
@ point (haven't figured out how tell "when" happens, less why) files no longer appear. hard drives report proper size\available space, if open of top level directories in finder, they're empty, , applications expect files there, find nothing.
attempting verify or repair disk @ point throws bunch of errors. can force eject drive if want to, can't mount again. when reboot - well. disk utility happy again. smart reports drives have no issues.
i'd chalk failing hard drive, it's happening 2 newer drives, seems unlikely. have both drives encrypted using filevault2 - both drives being decrypted see if still happens when drives aren't encrypted...
in mean time, has experienced this?
