Delete #snapshot folder

[DarwinPH]

Greetings,

Hope everybody is alright and well. I just want to ask how to delete the #snapshot folder. I have Min.IO server setup on our Syno through docker and it doesn't like any additional folders within its data mount.

Thank you!

could you pls be more detailed?

The #snapshot folder comes from the task you set in the Snapshot Replication package. Delete the associated task, and remove any residual #snapshot presence from that shared folder.

Hi @jeyare,

We have a Min.IO server setup on our Synology. We decided to setup Replication on the Min.IO data folder for added data protection. But once that is set up, the docker image for the Min.IO just kept restarting.

I have attached a screenshot of the error for everyone's perusal.

Thank you!

Hi @Telos,

Thanks! I have deleted snapshots that have been created but will make sure that the folder is empty.

@DarwinPH
it's better to contact directly support from min.io from Github
you have to explain them what is source FS, what is target FS, ... and more details about your container environment setup

@Telos
this isn't issue related to the Synology Snapshot/Replica

Will definitely do that one. We would still like to have Replication in our Synology box, is there a possibility to have the snapshots stored on a separate folder?

By design, snaps are in the folder you are actually snaping.
