Amazon S3 not sync for ReadyNAS home directories
I have a ReadyNAS 2304 that has been syncing a share to an Amazon S3 bucket for a few years. This has worked well. I recently configured a second session on the ReadyNAS to sync the user home directo...
Home "directories" are actually BTRFS sub-volumes if properly created by the OS. They are only created automatically after the first time the user logs in. So if you created a user and then, not finding the home directories, manually created them as standard directories, that could be the issue. Once you created them, the OS could no longer create the sub-volumes because there would be a name conflict.
There is a command available via SSH to force creation of home directories, it's mkhomedir_helper.
See if btrft subvolume list /home shows them as subvolumes. If it doesn't, you can move the incorrectly created directories elsewhere, properly create hem, and then copy the contents of the old ones to the new ones.

My NAS have no such files in the home folders. Perhaps they were created due to the S3 sync?
Did you look in the .ssh folder?

Yes, your picture details exactly what I am seeing.
I'm a bit confused as you said above that the files didn't exist on your NAS, but the picture you sent shows that they do?
