Data file missing

Last night one of my SQL Servers stopped and restarted for no reason. When
it came back up all of the files (.mdf) on one of my volumes were missing
(as were the directories/folders).
We are currently running SQL 2000 sp3a Enterprise Edition, Win 2000 on a
XIOTech Magnitude SAN.
Has this happened to any of you? Do you have any ideas on what may have
caused this? I am currently restoring a 100gig database and feeling rather
scared about the IO subsystem.

It seems strange.Looks like you have been attacked by virus.

|||I disagree. Xiotech is notorious for spurious losses of data. We use to
have that in our data center but they proved to be too unreliable. We now
use EMC Symmetrix systems and reserve a few remaining Xiotech systems for
our developement environments.
