Hello,
I have an enabled special remote called StorageBox:
% git annex whereis esp\ 07.odt
whereis esp 07.odt (3 copies)
00638e8a-ce29-4c41-b0df-e38bbbea303c -- [StorageBox]
2f41eb74-5f33-4737-bb6b-1cd31dd67ee5 -- External
8aca09c1-30bb-4c2a-9ea4-94a7096fc8b0 -- Horus [horus]
ok
but getting the file fails:
% git annex get esp\ 07.odt --from StorageBox
get esp 07.odt (from StorageBox...)
failed
git-annex: get: 1 failed
with --debug
% git annex --debug get esp\ 07.odt --from StorageBox

git-annex: get: 1 failed
The testing when I did enableremote was successful.
What can be the reason for that failure?
Thanks, Florian
git annex info StorageBoxsay about it?It gives me:
It seems that the file stored in the remote must have either been deleted by something, or possibly gotten corrupted. But probably deleted I think, because a corrupted file would have a different error message.
Lot of possible ways a file could get deleted. Perhaps StorageBox is storing the files as file on the filesystem, and had a disk problem that caused fsck to move the file to lost+found. Could happen, disks fail.
Another way would be, if you had made a clone of your git-annex repository, and enabled StorageBox in there, and done a
git annex move --from StorageBox. Then the clone would know it had the copy and StorageBox no longer did, but until that clone's git-annex branch is pushed out to other repositories, they will think StorageBox still has the copy, and fail like you showed.git-annex fsck exists because of these kinds of situations, and gets things back to a correct state. But it makes sense to investigate what happened.
