Hi
I have run into a error message I need help to analyze.
I run rclone, latest version, on a Synology NAS to Jottacloud
My command is a simple copy job
rclone copy FROM TO --LOG
Error message:
Movie/Kids/@eaDir /Kids.mkv/SYNOVIDEO_SUBTITLE_DLNA.srt: Can't follow symlink without -L/--copy-links
The @eaDir i dont understand, I suppose it is some internal way set SYN because on my jottaclod ROOOT i have a directory called @eaDir
Result is that no file is copied to destination directory.
My question is what is happening, is rclone reading content of *.mkv file and is the "L--copy-links" switch the best way to handle this?

Hi Modesty,
I have a Synology too and it is my understanding that the @eaDir folders contains extended attributes that can be ignored when copying/syncing (in most situations).
I suggest you confirm this by googling for “synology eadir” and then run a command something like this:
rclone copy FROM TO --LOG --exclude="**/@eaDir/**"
Please verify correct functioning with --dry-run
first.
By the way, did we solve this issue:
Hi

Duplicate object found in source - ignoring
I have these 2 files in same directory on my Synolgy nas, files made from win7
As you can see the save time is different:

I assume that the letter 'å' is making this possible.
Very annoying, but for this case not important since content is the same, bu in general the 2 files could be different.
What is a best practices to rename these files and also keep them alive for backup (copy)?
Is there a wi…
