Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can 
Nextcloud version _13.0.5:
Operating system and version (CentOS 7.5.1804 ):
Apache or nginx version (nginx/1.12.2):
PHP version (PHP 7.1.20):
The issue you are facing: I’m facing a very weird problem and even after googling and reading the forums for several days, I cannot find the underlying cause.
I have configured nextcloud with nginx,postgreSQL,nfs share data directory with selinux. I have given right permissions to the directory dir.
NFS share :
172.16.xx.x/var/preserve/shared/Users/data /usr/share/nginx/html/nextcloud/data
fstab : mounted with below
nfs nosharecache,context=“system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0” 0 0
SElinux permission:
ls -lZd nextcloud/
drwxr-xr-x. nginx nginx unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 nextcloud/
[root@nc html]# ls -lZd nextcloud/data/
drwxrwx—. nginx nginx system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0 nextcloud/data/
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes
Steps to replicate it:
- Access https://nextcloud (works fine when .ocdata is placed in data directory)
- but every hour eg. 9:00 , 10:00, 11:00 .ocdata file gets deleted automatically - there is no cron running which is very strange how it gets deleted automatically
- Have to mannually touch .ocdata and give permissions but still get delete every hour ( this is NFS share as mentioned above)
The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:
Nothing indicating related to data dir or .ocdata in logs
