Package: profile-sync-daemon Version: 6.25-1 Severity: important After a system crash (or blackout), profile-sync-daemon doesn't work properly anymore, when using the overlay filesystem. It does not sync any changes back anymore, maynly because of following message:
Aug 1 11:20:57 RMMbook profile-sync-daemon[5565]: ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/rmm/.mozilla/firefox/rk7hh7a0.default/null': File exists Aug 1 11:20:57 RMMbook profile-sync-daemon[5565]: mv: cannot overwrite directory '/home/rmm/.mozilla/firefox/rk7hh7a0.default-backup' with non-directory Aug 1 11:21:04 RMMbook profile-sync-daemon[5565]: #033[01mfirefox resync successful#033[00m Aug 1 11:21:04 RMMbook profile-sync-daemon[5565]: #033[01mfirefox unsync successful#033[00m It says it is successfull, but in reality it didn't sync changes back, also the mounts still exist even after ending the daemon. After deleting that null file, things seem to work again. I'm not sure what that "non-directory" message has to do with everything. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages profile-sync-daemon depends on: pn rsync <none> profile-sync-daemon recommends no packages.
