I have this issue that some files (always the same) appear again even though I delete them. I deleted them using macOS Finder with the Seafile client, seaf-cli or the web interface. They are always removed from all clients then. A couple of days later they are laying in the exact same location. I had this before with some other files which I could solve using seaf-cli only. It doesn’t work now. Other files in that directory are not not affected by this issue.
I already ran a fsck and gc after deleting the files. I did not clear the trash though.
Seafile Community Edition 9.0.6 in docker environment.
I had this issue for month now, at least in version 9.0.5.
I this a known issue? Are there any logs I can check? How can I solve this?
You can check the library history to see which client re-created the deleted files. You can check the log from that client to see what happened at the moment the files are re-uploaded.
After I created this post I deleted the files again, cleared all the history for the library and ran gc to get the files purged from my server.
The iPhone client created the files again when I entered the directory via the app. The web interface says “API” though but I could see the progress bar on the iphone when the files where uploaded.
That were both pdf files with a lot of pages. I think I downloaded them via iOS safari and uploaded them to my seafile via the files integration. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this behaviour.
