Cross-device link not permitted

I am running FileMaker Server 20.3.1 on AWS on Ubuntu 22.04.03 with a swap file and the latest OttoFMS version 4.0.7. The migration across the same server fails for me with the error “cross-device link not permitted.”

Here is the error log:
backup or copy failed: test.fmp12. Error: EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted, rename ‘/opt/FileMaker/FileMaker Server/Data/ClonesOnly/OTTO_test.fmp12_nF8oJ/Datenbank/test Clone.fmp12’ ->‘/backup/Backup/OttoFMS/outbox/build_QdpX3F8DtQud/test.fmp12’

The install operation works without any issues and creates a new file.

What exactly is the problem, and is there a solution for it?

Best regards,
Rico

is it because the backup dir is on a separate SSD Drive?

Hello,

Yes that could very well be the issue. You will need to configure your other drive with the proper permissions for OttoFMS to have access to it. Let me ask our hosting team. I think they have instructions for how to set this up.

After looking a little deeper. This is indeed a bug. We’ll fix it in the next release. Which we will do very soon. In the meantime, the only option is to not use a separate drive for Filemaker Servers backup.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

thanks Todd, no problem.
I will wait for the update, because all servers are setup this way…

Hello Rico

We just released Version 4.0.8. It should fix your problem.

Thanks

hi Todd

Thank you for the quick response. I updated the installation using the following command: sudo curl -sSL “https://appupdates.proofgeist.com/ottofms/install.sh” | bash. However, now the migration has crashed.

I did the same with rebooting the server, but it crashed as well.

Thank you for looking into this.

Hmm,

There isn’t anything in that log. Could you send the actual deployment and results, plus all all otto logs.

You can direct message me or @kduval with that info that would be helpful.

Hi Rico,

We’ve just pushed up version 4.0.9, it should fix this problem. Does it fix it on your side? Let us know if you have any problems with it going forward!
