It looks like the user “multimedia” doesn’t have write access to it’s home directory, maybe?

5

yes it’s seems the directory \home\sync is locked…

i can’t enter in this director, there is only root access

i’ll test to change the access.

thank you for your answer.

6

I try to change the right of the folder home/Sync but i’ve got the same problem…

7

i fix it… i don’t read the journal correctly… there are another folder which the access denied.

thank for your help
