RN314, snapshots do no start on one home share, but on others...
Hi there,
I have a strange issue with the snapshots on one home folder. There the snapshots do not start, allthough a snapshot folder is present. In all other folders and shares on the NAS there is no issue with snapshots, also on other home shares.
Having a look in snapper.log the snapshot job for this user is not showing up.
Having a look in system.log I see a strange message for this peticular user by saying that the share is not a btfrs share

how can this be solved..?
Did you ever have ssh enabled? If so, it is possible that /home/Ulrike was created with ssh?
I think this could also have happened if the home folders were restored with a backup before the user ever accessed the NAS with file explorer or finder.
One option is to copy off the files, then delete the user account and the folder /home/Ulrike. Then recreate the user account, and access the NAS with that person's credentials. That should re-create the share. Then copy back the folder contents.

I allready deleted and restored the folder, but definitely without accessing with the user credentials, but with admin access when restoring the data and watching things moving there... I will give it a try again, but start accessing with the users credentials.
