The Basics
- Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
32.0.3
- Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
Windows 11+Mint 22.3
- Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
2.. something
- Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
nginx v2.13.5
- PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
8.3.28
- Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
yes
- When did this problem seem to first start?
trying to setup dual boot sync
- Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
- Server:
TrueNAS Docker via github.com/nextcloud/docker built in container - Mint is using newest app image
- Windows is also up to date
- Server:
- Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
no
Summary of the issue you are facing:
I have an extra 8TB NVME formatted as NTFS that my nextcloud is configured to sync to.
I want to be able to keep it synced if I am in Windows or Mint
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
- Setup in windows, fully sync entire folder to F:/Nextcloud
- Reboot into mint
- Setup Nextcloud for the same folder on auto-mounted NTFS partition
- Error:
The folder ... is already linked to multiple accounts.....
I have tried deleting these DB files a few times, rebooting and letting each rebuilt their DBs, it always ends in 1 of the two giving this error and large re-sync of data(sometimes the entire thing) that is already up to date.
Both windows and Mint are setup to use RTC time as UTC but have the same timezone configured.
There’s gotta be a way this can be done, I am debating just having a tiny vmware VM that is shared between each system that starts on boot to just run nextcloud but that feels like a super ridiculous solution. similar to the final here: Dual boot sync not allowed for the same folder?
Configuration
Nextcloud
The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):
