Symlinks in seafile-ignore.txt #1520

Closed de-es closed 4 months ago

de-es commented 4 months ago

I sync my Firefox profile with Seafile client. There are some temporary files which should be ignored in this context, e.g. the lock file/symlink:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 user user       13  6. Mär 16:54 lock -> 127.0.0.1:+16

It is in my library specific seafile-ignore.txt with

*/lock

Even though there always has been a stat error in seafile.log

[03/06/24 17:21:36] sync-mgr.c(603): Repo 'Firefox' sync state transition from 'synchronized' to 'committing'.
[03/06/24 17:21:36] repo-mgr.c(1734): Failed to stat /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/k7ic3mz1.default-release/lock: No such file or directory.

it was working like this for years without a visible error in the client itself.

Since 9.0.5 the client is complaining about the symlink in File Sync Errors with the error message Error when indexing.

Is there any chance to ignore this symlink again?

Hello @de-es , the error Error when indexing is a bug, which will be fixed in the next release.

Did a rebuild with https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-client/pull/1518 and the errors are gone.
