Error 21 Device not ready

[iresten]

Hi, i have some jobs that are running against a SSHFS (WinFSP). These are mounted as networkdevices.
But for one of the job with mirror checking i get error message:
ERR {timestamp} An error occurred while checking for mirror changes: (21) Enheten är inte klar: [[sshfs.r\{connection}\ (translated, Device not ready). One time for each file i know needs to be removed from the destination

I cant figure out why, the SSHFS have complete rwx on the drive, and manually there is no problems with file handling.

The settings are the following:

Include subdirectories
Incremental backup
Mirror task
Clear archive attribute
Volume Shadow Copies: Tried both on and off

No idea, never tested against WinFSP.

PS - Kommer att göra lite tester inom kort. Återkommer.

In those two repos you can find information about the system.

I have a prod and a test enviroment so will gladly assist (and yes, the problem is in both prod and test)

I have installed SSHFS and tested with no problems, but you never know with foreign file systems. I have seen different results even with direct accessing NAS drives so...

I have now tested alot of thing but couldn't resolve my initial problem, but i found i workaround.

I installed the graphical interface for SSHFS-WIN Manager (standalone software) and when mounting from the GUI it mounts a drive and not a file share. (in cobian the search path became (\\sshfs.r\user@server\)) but with SSHFS-WIN Manager it mounts a drive (in cobian as "X:\"), nothing else were changed so some where between writepermissions in cobian between a networkshare and a drive is a fault (probably in SSHFS).

But if anyone else stumbles upon this problem my recommendation is to try SSHFS-Win manager and see if it resolves your issue.
