Hi,
I have Seafile server (6.0.3) behind Apache https (self-signed certificate), I’ve unchecked “Advanced->Do not verify server cert…” but still got error:

http-tx-mgr.c(578): libcurl failed to GET https://[hidden]/api2/repos/: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates.

43

You need to check that option, not uncheck.

44

This option will be added. Or we can auto choose a Drive letter not used yet.

45

Is this temporary or permanent? Could you check whether the file ‘C:/Users/7134956/seadrive/data\file-cache/676aa500-2e2f-4492-a9ed-cd0cd36e9a73/doc/Система команд.docx’ exist or not?

46

I’m sorry you are right :slight_smile: I’ve installed Seafile Drive, have seen nothing on drive S, unchecked that option, restart Seafile Drive, and still have seen nothing, and wrote my not entirely thought out message on forum. But conslusion is that I see the same message (Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates) regardless of which option is selected.

47

Windows7 system. The file is loaded into the cache is loaded again and again ad infinitum. On the S: drive file does not open. This library has a strange behavior. Removing the C:\Users\user\seadrive not solve the problem.
On windows 10 is no such problem.
After removal of the C:\Users\user\seadrive on windows 10 had this same problem.

The reason is revealed. The files do not have the last update time on the server. We need to carry around this problem.

48

Thanks alot but please no auto choose. :scream:

hi,

would it be feasible to use a seadrive mount as the destination for a e.g. a torrent download (large file, lots of random writes)?

cheers

It should work. The writes are completely local. So it should have similar performance as a local disk. But one pitfall I could think of is that, there may be many “indexing” operations if the downloaded file is not updated frequently enough. If you use the sync client, it should demonstrate a similar behavior. The client starts indexing the file if there is no update activity for 2 seconds.

52

do you always scan the whole file? since you’ll be using fuse, i assumed the index would be built on-the-fly.

anyways, i’m looking forward to the release of the linux client. my hope is to replace my old home nfs server with a sefile server.

ps.: thank you for releasing seafile under the gpl and the quality work you’re doing!

53

I’ve tested with a server with self-signed CA. When I check the option, https works well. Does your server works with the sync client?

54

The problem may be that is my administrator did some changes in infrastucture so my seafile server is deploy now at other subdomain and he didn’t change certificate so I have mismatch between site in certificate and site which my seafile is deploy on. I have checked option “Do not verify…” and still got error message “…/seafhttp/protocol-version: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates”

Hi,

Just installed the client (Windows 10 - 1607), 2 first remarks :

  • i cant launch the client on an unprivilegied account : “Seafile drive failed to initialize”
  • is it possible to choose the network drive letter ? (it’s really a problem when the S: drive is alredy used for other corporate shares)

thanks !

Pierre

The Drive client doesn’t require privileged user to run. Could you post your seadrive.log?

This restriction will be fixed in 0.3 version.

57

0.2 version still shows the wrong disk capacity. Would it be fixed in 0.3 as well?

58

The two problems are linked :
> [09/14/16 09:48:24] seadrive.c(429): Starting SeaDrive client 0.1.0
> [09/14/16 09:48:24] seadrive.c(453): rpc server started.
> [09/14/16 09:48:24] seadrive.c(481): Can’t assign a drive letter

maybe it would be a good idea to test before if the drive letter is free and get a clear message error if already in use.

59

Let me show you a screencast of what I mean:

Before I browsed a Seadrive folder with videoes, there was 68 GB free on C:. After I had browsed the folder it was down to 65,5 GB.

60

Having issue with the client. Installs fine. but doesnt seem to do anyting. Most of the time when i open i get Seadrive drive failed to initialize. When it does actually open, it doesnt create the drive letter or anything.

61

The video thumbnail generator may read part of a video file to generate thumbnail. Then Drive client starts to cache the file on local disk. But as soon as the thumbnail generator closes the file, the caching will be stopped. So the entire file shouldn’t be cached, unless somehow the entire file is read or the Drive client has a bug.
Is the total size of the video folder about 3GB? Could you check the cached files under C:\users\username\seadrive\data\file-cached<library-id>?
