Since about three days the synchronization does not work anymore - a File is LOCKED

Hello,

I am asking for your help.
I have been using Joplin for over 2 years, first with version 1.0.201 and never had any problems with synchronization.

However, since about three days the synchronization does not work anymore and I get the error message:

Abgeschlossen (Completed): 08/06/2022 02:31 (31s)
Letzte Fehlermeldung (Last error message): Error: PUT locks/1_1_d6331fc5b7e442a8a0175812821bc7b4.json: "Zzz_Joplin_NEU/locks/1_1_d6331fc5b7e442a8a0175812821bc7b4.json" is locked
(Exception OCA\DAV\Connector\Sabre\Exception\FileLocked) (423): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <d:error xmlns:d="DAV:" xmlns:s=" h t t p ://sabredav.org/ns"> <s:exception>OCA\DAV\Connector\Sabre\Exception\FileLocked</s:exception> <s:message>"Zzz_Joplin_NEU/locks/1_1_d6331fc5b7e442a8a0175812821bc7b4.json" is locked</s:message> </d:error>

On the OwnCloud server, in the directory "Zzz_Joplin_NEW/locks/" the file "1_1_d6331fc5b7e442a8a0175812821bc7b4.json" is NOT present, but many times I find it under " deleted files".

Synchronization with the Android Joplin app still works fine.

Further note: about two weeks ago I enabled encryption, but since then I have had to sync very often as I use ob them regularly, but until three days ago there were no problems at all.

Thanks in advance, McPower

Hi,
the error code 423 means The resource that is being accessed is locked.
This is a OwnCloud / NextCloud problem, try to search here in the forum or on the official OwnCloud / NextCloud forum. if I know correctly the database from OwnCloud / NextCloud needs to be repaired.

Yeah, I think I vaguely remember having this issue and this being the solution.
(My non-solution was ugly and won't help you, though; and I quickly got fed up with NextCloud issues and am now hosting my own Server.)

Hello JackGruber,

thank you for the answer.
You had written, "This is an OwnCloud / NextCloud issue"

I have my OwnCloud data stored at ocloud dot de. That's why I wrote to support, but haven't received an answer yet.

But I am a bit unsure if your statement is true, because as I wrote above, the synchronization with the Android Joplin app still works fine.

Maybe someone has another idea what the problem could be.

Thanks

@McPower this is only because every client create it's own lock file and only the creation of the lockfile for the desktop (id: d6331fc5b7e442a8a0175812821bc7b4) is not working.

I had written to the support, because my Joplin data is stored at ocloud dot de - I still have not received an answer from them, but obviously the lock has been removed by them, the synchronization works fine now again.

Thanks for the help
