Cannot set directory locks for the following folders:

[jimmyfarmer123]

I'm running a laptop with linux mint and I'm using freefilesync to 2 way sync my documents, downloads, music, pictures and videos folders to an external hard drive that is connected to my router.
I set everything up last night and I did a sync overnight and the files were copying when I went to bed. When I woke up I checked on it and all of the files appear to have copied over. I attempted making a couple of new folders just to make sure it was still syncing then a few hours later I came to check on it and it was no longer syncing. I made a new batch file and unchecked the ignore errors box and now I get the following error for each of the folders I mentioned above:

Cannot set directory locks for the following folders:

Cannot write permissions of "/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:domain=WORKGROUP,server=192.168.50.1,share=documents,user=admin/sync.ffs_lock".
ENOTSUP: Operation not supported [fchmod]

I did not change anything since it worked last night.
I am able to access all of the folders on my external drive via my file explorer without any problems.

Anyone have any idea what is going on here?

I installed FreeFileSync on a different laptop also running Linux Mint and it's getting the same error, "cannot set directory locks".

The link from the other post you shared no longer works, would you happen to have an updated link?

thank you

That link is to a beta of a previous FFS version.
Any such fixes should be included in all more recent FFS version.

I installed the most recent version of FFS so maybe the fix wasn't applied after all?
