we've seen similar effects on several occasions on this list. So far, it has always (iirc) been a case of "diskless primary". Have you retained logs from 11 days ago? I'd expect you to find a note around that time stating that your primary detached its backing device. *If* this assumption is correct, here's what's happened then: You primary happily kept writing data, but it never reached its local HDD. Instead, all changes were written to the secondary's disk only. When you did your changes and overwrote the data of the secondary, you killed your data. Bottom line is, it's crucial to be mindful of the health state of your resources. Ideally, monitoring should report whenever your disks are not UpToDate/UpToDate, among other possible problems.
