I had a server upgrade yesterday, following which lots of images have broken across my site. When I check on the server via my FTP client, the images (some uploaded many months ago) are not actually saved in /sites/default/files. If I compare this with the full site copy I took before the server upgrade, the file isn't saved in my copy either, suggesting the server upgrade was not at fault. I was using 7.x-2.3 at this point.

I uploaded a new image a few minutes ago (still using 7.x-2.3) and it displays OK on the site but is NOT saved on the server. How is this possible?!

Even more weirdly, some images that ARE on the server are showing as broken on the site.

I then updated to 7.x-2.9 and also updated File Entity to the latest version and tried re-uploading some broken images and now the images are displaying OK on the site AND are being saved in the relevant folder on the server. So I hope this issue is fixed...

I don't know where my server upgrade comes into the equation though, as the broken images were showing OK before yesterday.
