ok strange. Your config file has no permissions at all. That's a good reason for not being accessible.

Code: Select all

---------- 1 dietpi dietpi 4665 Okt  9 10:12 config.xml
Let's try to fix

Code: Select all

chmod 600 /mnt/dietpi_userdata/syncthing/config.xml
systemctl restart syncthing.service
systemctl status syncthing.service
hopefully status is active (running) now

I guess whole issue was caused by the fact that your dietpi_userdata has incorrect ownership. Actually it is owned by root user but usually it should be dietpi user. Therefore you had issues during installation as DietPi was not able to write to this file system.

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x  1 root   root     4096 Okt  8 12:25  dietpi_userdata
To get it corrected, you would need to do following.

Code: Select all

chown dietpi:dietpi /mnt/14BEBE5BBEBE3558/dietpi_userdata/
