User management / Folder permission change causing error message / unable to execute

  • Hi , I changed the permissions / user accecss-rights of a shared folder from read-only to read-write, which could not be implemented. I recieve this error message - can someone help me with this / what do I need to do to implement this change?

    Thank you!

    The rsync job is referencing a shared folder that does not exist in the database. The UUID of this object is fc3ed2af-3bb4-4b0f-9b7c-c6ad924fa761. This type of error can only occur if you have manually modified the /etc/openmediavault/config.xml file.

  • Thank you for your reply. Yes, I had to modify the config file manually before due to other errors some weeks ago, but that worked fine, so I had no error messages before I changed the permissions / user accecss-rights of a shared folder yesterday.

    Currently, I have no rsync jobs activated / enabled at the moment as I'm only using the USB.Backup plugin currently - shall I just delete all lines refeferring to rsync jobs , or what would I need to adapt in the config time this time?


    Thank you!

    configure_rsync_cron_script_b253ef2b-af57-46ea-8c2d-7eb228e3a622 Function: file.managed Name: /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/rsync-b253ef2b-af57-46ea-8c2d-7eb228e3a622 Result: False Comment: Unable to manage file: Jinja error: No such object: //system/shares/sharedfolder[uuid='183e8e7f-f4f7-4fa2-af8b-395b6028b086']

    There is a rsync job, otherwise this wouldn't be executed.

    I think at the end you will make it more worse. Simply do not modify the database manually.

    What shall i say, the SaltState output is telling something different. There are two Rsync jobs, their database objects IDs are fc203d15-57d0-4991-a1b8-9e4656cf3e96 and b253ef2b-af57-46ea-8c2d-7eb228e3a622.


    They are referencing to shared folders with the database object IDs fc3ed2af-3bb4-4b0f-9b7c-c6ad924fa761 and 183e8e7f-f4f7-4fa2-af8b-395b6028b086 that do not exist.

  • thank you !

    your first prompt listed 5 enabled R-Sync tasks.

    I deleted them all , using your second command.

    But they still appear when I use your prompt to show the avaiable r-sync taks (here I only pasted the first two )


    Any idea what can I do now? Thank you !

  • meanwhile - I also raised this question in the R-Sync section of this forum, and I got help there :



    This issue is solved. Thank you.
