I had been using FreeFileSync to sync several directories on my local PC with a Drive Pool on a WS2012E server. A couple days ago, FreeFileSync (FFS) started freezing attempting to write its "Lock" file to the server directories.
I think, but can't confirm, the problem started with the upgrade to 2.0.0.310. Upgrading again to 2.0.0.312 earlier today had no effect. FFS still stalls trying to write its lock file to the servier directories.
This afternoon I uninstalled FFS and reinstalled an old copy of Microsoft's SyncToy. Voila, syncing works again!
It really seems like FFS and the latest DP don't like each other but I can't figure out why. Any thoughts?
