I have limited space on the disk where syncthing is running. Therefore I created a symlink from /home/syncthing to /mnt/sharedfiles/DP1/syncthing.
vdir /home/syncthing lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jan 9 16:39 /home/syncthing → /mnt/sharedfiles/DP1/syncthing
The target folder on /mnt/sharedfiles/DP1/ has following rights: drwxr-xr-x 5 syncthing syncthing 4096 Jan 9 16:20 syncthing
I tried also: drwxrwxrwx 5 syncthing syncthing 4096 Jan 9 16:20 syncthing
but get always the log entries: 2022-01-09 16:50:21: Loading ignores: lstat /home/syncthing/test/.stignore: permission denied
2022-01-09 16:50:21: Error on folder “test” (P1-test): stat /home/syncthing/test: permission denied

2022-01-09 16:50:26: Failed to save config: open /home/syncthing/.config/syncthing/.syncthing.tmp.545244374: permission denied
Also the subfolders on /mnt/sharedfiles/DP1/ have the rights for syncthing:syncthing
My question: How can I configure that syncthing is using another path than the home path (/home/syncthing)?
