FreeFileSync Forum

Done! Thanks!

OK... but where is "my donation page"? Thanks.

Hi,
I have cloned my SSD to an nvme drive, and when I launched FreeFileSync it say the software has been installed on 3 PC, but in fact it has not... one install has just moved to another disk... anyway to solve that?
Thanks,

Hi,
I got the following message when trying to copy file on a NAS using smb share on Ubuntu 18.04LTS
"/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=130.88.18.205,share=backup_imaging_data_herve_boutin/Inveon_scans"
Cannot write file "/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=130.88.18.205,share=backup_imaging ...

I know but if I do not exclude them I got an error message saying that FFS cannot delete those .tmp files because they are open. It only happens in Ubuntu and with NAS shares!

My mistake: the destination of deleted files was set to "recycle bin", changing this to "delete permanently" in FFS and excluding all tmp file with the filter *ffs.tmp allowed the synchronisation to take place. NB: I have only tried with the NAS share mounted manually through terminal using nfs and ...

This is strange as SMB mounting works fine in Nautilus, I can create/delete/modify files in the shares without any issues, it is only FFS that has a problem accessing the shares and writing to them.
I'll try to mount that share manually in terminal and get back to you after testing.

Have now rebooted both the PC and NAS and I now get the following message:
Cannot set directory locks for the following folders:

"/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=IP.IP.IP.IP,share=share/"
Cannot write file "/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=IP.IP.IP.IP,share=share/Del.Del.sync.ffs_lock ...

Update: this is only happening when working with NAS shares.

So the error I get is:
Cannot write file "/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=IP.IP.IP.IP,share=file_name_here.ffs_tmp".

Error Code 22: Invalid argument [open]

The file is not open in any applications but Freefilesync!

Hi,
I am using Freefilesync on Ubuntu 18.04 to synchronize folders between an external USB3 HDD and NAS shares (mounted as CIFS in Ubuntu). Since version 10.4 the synchronisation fails, it takes a very long time initializing (scanning for locked folders), creates lots of .lock files (many starting ...
