Hello.
I’ve just added a new syncthing node to my existing network.
The shared folder synced correctly on the new node, but then I created a new file on another node and this made the new node show the “Out of Sync” error.
In the Failed Items list the new file is the one out of sync, with reason “permission denied” and this message showing up on mouseover: “syncing: opening temp file: open /mnt/qnap/STCloud/folder/filename.txt.tmp: permission denied”.
The folder resides on a NAS and it’s mounted on the computer via NFS, but I think I gave all the needed permissions, in fact I can write to that folder without problems.
I think smb has very little if yamy permission support on linux, where as NFS does support full unix permissions, so I think the permission issues are genuine when mounted as NFS.
I understand that, but the user has r/w permissions on that disk, so I don’t understand what might cause the problem.
Luckily the folder in question only contains a (huge) bunch of files for which permissions are not important if not completely useless.
“disk” doesn’t have much meaning, the user needs to have read write execute perms on the folder.it’s working it, and potentially even own it for certain operations (i.e., changing permissions, you can’t change perms on things you don’t own).
I realize that, that’s why I specified that I tried writing to that folder and it worked flawlessly. I really don’t understand what permission is missing…
