Thanks. That is very interesting. I was not aware that resizing a volume would change its id.

As a short term fix you can jotta-cli rem /path/to/folderand then jotta-cli add /path/to/folderit again.

But for the long term i think an extra command something like jotta-cli add --confirmexisting /path/to/folder or something like that will be needed as i don't think we programatically will be able to determine if its just a resize or some other innocuous event causing the change.

I'll add it to our todo.

Thanx. I will try this workaround. hopefully it will not reupload everything. it is a lot of data on a slow radio link :)

Maybe this info helps out: this LVM. I added a disk to the Volume Group and extended the Volume to cover the additional space in the VG. This was on Centos 7.

It shouldn't reupload anything. But it will checksum all the files which can consume a lot of io/cpu for a while.

Thanks for the additional info.

We added jotta-cli add --confirmexisting /path/to/folder in version 0.6
