Hey!
I have got a Kindle Fire HD (2nd generation) and want to use Git Annex to sync my data round. However, it does not sync my data at all (my other setups, e.g. PC or laptop do work quite well). The reason for that seems to be quite simple, but I do not know how to fix that:
I always get the warning message:
TransferScanner crashed: /storage/emulated/legacy/annex/.git/index: copyFile: does not exist (No such file or directory).
I found the same error in the log:
git-annex: /storage/emulated/legacy/annex/.git/index: copyFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) ... fatal: Run with no arguments or with -c cmd git-annex-shell: git-shell failed
I am using the latest versions for android and arm (server, raspberry pi) from this site from today (13.07.2014)
http://git-annex.branchable.com/install/
I hope somebody can help me. I tried restaring the TransferScanner, restarting git-annex, restarting the OS, resetting the OS (to shipping defaults), nothing helped.
Cheers, Stephan
git initand has not yet had anything added to it. When the webapp is used to create a repository, it should always leave it with an index file already present.I have the same problem. I checked again, removed the previous annex/ directory and created a new annex repository from the webapp. No annex/.git/index file is created.
I then add a remore ssh server. The synchronisation fails with the error in the log: "/storage/emulated/legacy/annex/.git/index: copyFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)."
Running "git annex sync" solved the problem.
Here's the log right from the first start up after creating a repo, and also the warning I get when I open the webapp:
[2015-03-29 10:18:01 JST] main: starting assistant version 5.20150327-ge414f2d [2015-03-29 10:18:01 JST] Cronner: You should enable consistency checking to protect your data. (scanning...)

Detected a crippled filesystem. (recording state in git...) error: cannot run git-upload-pack '/storage/extSdCard/annex-sync': No such file or directory fatal: unable to fork
Each time I start the webapp, I get this warning:
Transfer scanner crashed: /storage/sdcard0/annex/.git/index: copyFile does not exist (No such file or directory)
