Hi,
I have a powered external harddisk drive. Power cuts are frequent in my area. During the power cut my laptop (running NzbDrone) and router remains on on battery power, Whereas my ext HDD will go off. Now ,if drone goes to rescan a show the episodes will go as missing. And downloads which finish in SAB will not be imported.
It would be great if you could figure out something to help me out, maybe some sort of check to see if all the drives are plugged in and accessible if not spit out an error and try again after some x minutes
Drone should not scan series which have a root folder thats missing (in your case a drive missing) and a warning should be logged. Similarly it will not be able to import those files and will automatically retry again (and again).
I disconnected my ext hdd and this message pops in Health,
Missing root folder: /media/brenden/Seagate Expansion Drive
But even after connecting my HDD back the message remains
Drone only rescans to check for the missing drives every 6 hours, but it also checks it on startup.
Restart drone to detect it immediately, or wait for the scan to happen on its own.

Ok so now Bad Teacher released today, and the drive was not connected so it didnt import, now the drive is connected. So after the 6 hour interval, will Drone retry importing?
It should try every minute to import it, the health checks that show those warnings on run every 6 hours though.
If its not importing, then enable debug logs and it will show why its not importing.
@markus101 okay so last night while it was importing a episode the power got cut. When the power got cut it was in the middle of moving a file. (tpz-bones203.avi)

All the episodes except tpz-bones203.avi are present in the Drone Factory folder.
I Think that Drone thought that is was copied over so it deleted the copy in the Drone Factory folder.
Maybe you could do something to prevent Drone from deleting the episode.
The import moves the files directly, its not a copy than a delete, the actual move is handled outside of drone’s control.
Looks like your drone factory is on the external drive as well, so if the power was lost it wouldn’t be able to copy the files and you would get a log full of errors (as you do).
This isn’t something we’re going to spend time digging into, its a minor issue for most users, unfortunately your power sucks.
