I have had Darwin Calendar Server running happily on a Linux server for
a couple of years.

This morning, all my calendars disappeared. I can still connect to the
server, and create new calendars and items, but I want my old ones back.

Any ideas what might have happened, or where the missing things might
be?

In your backups?

The files are on the server - I can see them all, along with all the
..ics files the events are stored in.

They're in /var/spool/caldavd, where I'd expect.

The config files don't seem to be damaged.

I'd happily restore from a backup, but I have no idea what needs to be
restored to make things work again!

I am pretty sure that everything is there on the server, but something's
pointing in the wrong direction.

Logs saying anything? Some update has remounted the partition without
the xattr attribute (which I found a few times)?

It can't be a partition issue, because I can still use the calendar
server, and create and read new calendars.

If I visit the server at :8008/principals/users/<username>, I can see
the calendars in Calendar homes, as well as the events - as .ics files -
in each collection.

Permissions on the files and directories look no different from each
other.

I have built the WebDAVBrowser application from
<http://trac.calendarserver.org/wiki/CalDAVClientLibrary> but when I run
it I get an error:

NibLoaderError: Invalid NIB file
[/Users/daniele/caldavclient/CalDAVClientLibrary/dist/WebDAVBrowser.app/
Contents/Resources/WebDAVBrowser.nib]

I wonder if a sqlite database may be corrupt somewhere.
