Hello All!
I’ve some problem with the sync function.
It was working since some weeks ago, but now if i try to start it manually, i get the error in the object…
This is the end of the log, after the list of the files:

hmm error 23 means that thinks are done partially.
```nohighlight
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred
```
There is nothing in /mnt/HD\_500/dietpi-sync/.dietpi-sync.log giving a hint which files are not transferred?

The only “differrent” line in the file from the other is this one:
```nohighlight
2021/02/10 07:54:17 [13671] rsync: readlink_stat("/mnt/HD1T/dietpi_userdata/owncloud_data/XXXX/files_trashbin/files/XXXX.d1609495540") failed: Stru$
```
How i can fix it? 🤔

looks like the file is located inside a trash bin as the path contain files\_trashbin
Can you check if you can clear trash bin. Or maybe try to have it moved somewhere else?

your system has an issue with following file
```nohighlight
/mnt/HD1T/dietpi_userdata/owncloud_data/XXXX/files_trashbin/files/XXXX.d1609495540
```
So you would need to check what it is
