Yesterday I decided to auto mount a hard drive with "Disks". During the mount options change I was working with some files in VScode, after saving the changes, the files were readable and writable. The Directory and the files I was working with were visible. After a restart files were gone.The Directory is visible but without my program files and data. Others files that have not been used after the auto mount, are steal there.
I know that I should have made a git push or something like that. Unfortunately I have not.
Is there any chance that my files are still there but invisible? Is it possibly that I accidentally created an other filesystem that hangs from the same position and has stored the changes?
At first the hard drive was mounted manually to /media/Common.
The process took place in "Disks" at Mount options. There, the only thing I changed was the "Identify As" witch I select "LABEL=Common"
Also after the incident my hard drive is reporting read errors with increased Current Pending Sector Count

I don't know if the auto mount settings have any connections with the problem, but those were the latest changes of any kind on that hard drive.
Currently I'm using:
Ubuntu Mate 20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 5.11.0-41-generic x86_64
MATE 1.24.0
