[mythtv-users] My MythTV system is a time machine

I had a plumbing leak in my house this morning that threatened my server
rack, so I shut down Myth and moved it upstairs. Once the problem was fixed,
I brought it back downstairs and plugged it in. It automatically powered
back on (BIOS settings), and I didn't have a monitor attached, so I missed
any boot errors.

So anyway, I connect to it from my revo frontend and noticed that the theme
had changed. Hmmm...
Looked at files... all the recordings were from 1/28/11 and earlier.

Checked the system date... it's today - March 3rd.

Everything on the system is as it was on 1/28/11. Including the recording
schedules (whole database, really). The HDDs are a pair of WD 2.0TB in a
RAID1 mirror set using an onboard SATA RAID chipset.

What happened? Can I recover or playback to today? It's really weird to see
(and be able to watch) files that I deleted over a month ago.

Thanks...
