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 ...
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.

How did you restore it? I am thinking it was not created correctly (as a btrfs subvolume). Instead it was created as an ordinary folder.
well, I do not know what went wrong there and how I did it that time, but something is messed up with that home folder...
I deleted the user, and I tried to delete the folder, but it cannot be removed completely, or at least it has no effect trying it from the admin page.
Then I logged in via ssh as root. Then I saw in the home folder a single ".ssh" folder with a single file "ssh_authorized_keys" with only read-write rights to the owner, that was deleted. Even as root I cannot remove it. Very strange. How to get rid of the file and the folders..?
