Failed initial scan (error="folder marker missing .....)

Support
1

Dear all,

I’ve seen multiple messages about this problem, but I did not find the solution.

I have some computers synced with Syncthing and all works fins (Mac, Windows, Linux). I now setup a headless raspberrypi with syncthing and this also seems to work ok: all 8 folders look synchronized, I did not notice any missing files. But I do get the ‘folder marker missing…’ message for all 8 folders!

All folders show ‘bijgewerkt’ (Dutch for ‘Updated’) in the GUI except 2 which indicate ‘Niet gesynchroniseerd’ (not synchronized), which is because there are some files with wrong characters in the filenames.

All folders on all computers have the .stfolder in it.

When I say ‘rescan’ this seems to work and I don’t get the error message, but next time I boot the raspberry I do get the error again.

Does anybody know what I am missing?

Regards,

Frank

At a guess, the folders aren’t mounted/available when Syncthing starts. They’ll recover on the next scheduled scan.

Thank you Jacob for your reply,

I think you are right: I added x-systemd.device-timeout=10s tot the fstab and the problem seems to be solved. I should have thought of that!
