I am having issues with SMB syncing on Windows clients (Only client I have tested).
I have having multiple problems but hopefully it is all the same cause, I just need to figure out what the cause is.
First major problem is I can create new files on the clients and Nextcloud will sync them but if I modify the files from the clients 2/3 of the time I will get a sync conflict and the server version of the file will override the client files even when the client files are a newer version.
Second Problem is sometimes I get a file that is synced constantly without any modifications to the file anywhere. It just downloads from the server every 2-10 minutes, notifying me every time.
And last but not least I also get a message every once in awhile saying the files on the server have been restored from an earlier time and it asks if I want to keep client files or sync the server files. This usually happens when I am modifying a file on the client side.
To keep things simple on my tests I am not modifying any files from the SMB server directly, all file modifications are going though Nextcloud.
The only person with a similar issue I have found is this thread
I have changed all of the NTP server to be the same on all clients. Still not positive it it actually took affect on my Nextcloud server, but looking at the time between all of the servers they are very close it is hard to tell exactly but I would say at least within a second.
I have also run the OCC file scan on the Nextcloud server multiple times.
My setup.
Nextcloud Server
Nextcloud 11.0.0 Stable
PHP Version 7.0.8
mysql Version 5.7.16
OS Linux Mint 18 (Updated)
SMB Server
FreeNAS 9.10
Local connection
Clients
2 Windows 7 Clients (Remote)
2 Windows 10 (Local)
Currently I am the only user.
The Server has about 35,000 files of that only 3,500 files are synced. (Most files are static files).
This is only a problem with files over the SMB I tried a few times with files directly on the Nextcloud and I couldn’t duplicate the problem.
Any ideas?
