Nextcloud version: 17.0.1
Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (Standard LAMP install)
Apache version: 2.4.29
PHP version: 7.2.24
MySQL version: 5.7.28
Redis-server: 5.4.0.9
I have made a fresh install Ubuntu LAMP with latest Nextcloud manual install. I run Nextcloud as the only “site” on the server and use the default /var/www/html as web root. The files are owned by www-data:www-data and all other file and folder permissions has been set as per recommendations to the manual. I have applied all recommendations in the “Overview” tab in the admin panel. I have my primary Nextcloud storage configured to use a CIFS share mounted in /mnt/nextcloud, also set with recommended file and folder owner and permissions. The server and the Nextcloud instance is running perfect.
My CIFS mount in fstab:
//servername/nextcloud /mnt/nextcloud cifs vers=3.0,iocharset=utf8,gid=33,dir_mode=0770,credentials=/root/smbcredentials,uid=33 0 0
My Nexcloud config has some adjustments, but is minimal:
root@nextcloud:/var/www/html/config# cat config.php
<?php
$CONFIG = array (
'instanceid' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',

The issue you are facing:
The warnings I get in my Nextcloud admin log (see full error below), indicates that there was an error to create a new folder. This error is generated in my log every now and then when I scroll through a folder with thousands if photos, using the gallery preview on my iPhone. Upon investigation, the folder that is indicated in the error, is the preview cache folders that is auto generated in AppData. I double checked the permissions, and they are set correct. How ever, I also noticed that the cache folder already has thousands of successfully auto generated folders, including the one that the error log indicated couldn’t be created. So somewhere the generation of folders tries to create duplicates, or there’s some other bug in the process of checking and creating the folders.
Steps to replicate it:
- Add a folder with thousands of photos to your user storage.
- Using the Nextcloud app on an iPhone, fast scroll down the gallery app with an occasional pause for the previews to show on screen.
- Check admin GUI error log for “OCP\Files\NotPermittedException”
