Hi
just noticed, that when I tried new settings and FreeFileSync crashed the file sync.ffs_lock stays.
You (in this case I) will not be able to run a backup on that directory anymore until the file is gone.
I suggest (=feature request) that after a user defined time (in minutes - which would enable me so set ot to 23 hours for example) the file is being ignored - and - deleted, so that the next backup can run smoothly. FreeFileSync needs to check the time/date stamp of sync.ffs_lock for this (maybe you leave some more information in there which could be used).
Right now i need to search the file and delete it by hand ...

sync.ffs_lock - please autodelete after X minutes

FFS automatically detects abandoned sync.ffs_lock files. So in your case FFS probably does not crash, but hang. And while it's hanging it is still keeping the sync.ffs_lock file active. So the solution is to make sure that the FFS process that is holding the lock is not running anymore.

Hi
well, it does not seem so. The sync.ffs_lock files is still sitting on my NAS - I manually needed to delete it.

Is the file size changing over time? If so, there is still a FFS process holding it.

Hi
sorry for the fuzz. I deleted the file manually and since then the effect did not reoccur.
If it happens again, I will post here again.
