#FREEFILESYNC CANNOT SET DIRECTORY LOCK UPDATE#
I have an FFS batch sync set up to run every 15 minutes (using Windows Task Scheduler).FFS has run without issues in the past, but now fails (not sure whether an update to FFS or Win10 caused the issue). Your donation will fund the development of new features and help to keep up continuous program maintenance. I noticed that for the last two weeks the sync has not run successfully once. If you find FreeFileSync useful, please consider supporting the project by donating. Task Scheduler is set to kill the process after three hours as there is no way it will ever take that long in my situation. I ran the GUI version of the sync and noticed the sync was sitting there with the message: In the log files directory, a 0KB / empty log file was being created with the time stamp but no details as to why the sync was failing. I know from past experience that this is because there is a lock file that hasn't been deleted from a previous sync: "sync.ffs_lock". I simply deleted the lock file and the sync ran fine again. Is there any way the program can have some smart logic built in to handle this situation? For example popping up a dialogue box to the user to let them know after a certain period of time or to delete the lock file itself if the lock file is X number of hours or days old.Īny assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am having this same issue, but I don't see that it is associated with any lock files.

By GPO, user's folders are redirected to a server share. I can easily delete them by searching X: for 'sync.ffs'. As backups are made later, these files accumulate on X: (second image). The backup completes correctly (I have checked this several times). If I use RTS to launch the exact same batch file, whether from the GUI or using Task Scheduler, I get a grey icon in the system tray "Waiting until all directories are available." It never clears up, and never syncs unless I do it manually.Īt any time I want, I can open FFS, either GUI or batch, and run a sync with no issues. I check 'Dont show this warning again' and press Ignore.

I can even open FFS and just leave the stuck process running in the system tray, and the sync will run fine but the icon will still be grey in the system tray and it will never sync.
