read-only file system

Hi,

i’m trying to backup some files from a remote windows 8 machine running synctrazor, to a NAS running Ubuntu 16 with an encrypted BTRFS filesystem. Every syncthing is up to date. Procedure is as following:

sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda sda

sudo mount /dev/mapper/sda /NASS

system-config-samba

from this point on i’m able to send and receive files over the network with several windows machines. than i want to start syncing

syncthing

than i add the folder on my workstation, and make it share with the NAS. workstation is scanning… NAS messages "workstation wants to share a folder…" i add the name and path on the BTRFS filesystem

/NASS/remotebackup

but i always get these messages from my NAS’s syncthing

mkdir /NASS: read-only file system

mkdir /NASS/remotebackup/.stfolder: no such file or directory

mkdir works fine when running from the commandline under the logged in user, and persmissions look good:

ls -l /

shows the logged in user has permissions drwxrwxrwx on /NASS. Does anybody have a hint what could be wrong? greetings.

Permissions have no meaning if the filesystem as a whole is read only, which seems to be the case in your case. Command line file creationg might work at / but not at /NASS etc.

as said, the filesystem is perfectly read/writeable via samba, also

touch /NASS/remotebackup/test.log

works fine

echo foobar > /NASS/remotebackup/test.log

writes to this file and mount shows

/dev/mapper/sda on /NASS type btrfs (rw,relatime,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/)

so syncthing is misinterpreting something, under both accounts, local user and superuser.

Can you show a full startup log?

hi,

this is what i get on the commandline while startup

Seems it does a mkdirall, which does it step by step and fails at the root which is potentially read only.

Which is reasonable, but shouldn’t happen if the folder path exists. We only end up in the MkdirAll if we get a “does not exist” back for the stat of the folder path…

Perhaps fs abstraction anomaly?

is there anything i can do to help with this? any stats to provide? any configuration on my machine? i really do not know how to get further.

greetings.

Well you can pre-create the directories yourself, if that helps, create an issue on github.
