For first post, please answer the questions below! ### Describe your issue in detail I am using Pydio Cell v4 Home on Linux. My goal is to test out the ability to use a common file system that houses various forms of data (i.e. pdf, txt, csv, xlsx, etc..) to be imported into a document management system. I have added a Structured Storage that points to a local filesystem but am not seeing anything imported. I have also attempted both a sync via the web interface and command line with it not bringing anything in. Is there a procedure that outlines adding a structured FS with data present and successfully importing the files into Cells? ### What version of Cells are you using? Pydio Cell v4.2.5 Home Linux ARM64 ### What is the server OS? Database name/version? Browser name or mobile device description (if issue appears client-side)? OS = RHEL9 ARM64 (SeLinux is disabled) DB = MariaDB 10.5.16 ### What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already? I have attempted: 1. Resynchronization via the “Cells Console”. 2. ./cells admin datasource resync -d smb ---

Could you give details about the path on your FS where your data really is? and also is it a mount or using symbolic links ? Has the user that runs the server correct permission to read and write at this path ? Do you see any error in the logs when you launch the re-sync ? ---

The path is a mount point from an SMB share hosted on a Ubuntu server shared out to a RHEL server. Here is how it is mounted in the /etc/fstab: > # grep cifs /etc/fstab > > [//10.20.20.17/research/2022/Backups/TEST](https://10.20.20.17/research/2022/Backups/TEST) /mnt/test cifs credentials=/root/.smbcreds 0 0 Here is the tree of a simple setup of files I dropped in to test out what we could do: > # tree /mnt/test > > /mnt/test > └── pydio > ├── blah.txt > └── JAC > ├── KAMA\_new\_space.pdf > └── Plot\_Twist\_Teacher\_Guide.pdf > > 2 directories, 3 files Here is what we see when we attempt a resync from command line: > # /root/RPMs/Pydio/cells admin datasource resync -d smb > > Resync Triggered. > Result: {“Source”:“s3://127.0.0.1:9001/pydio”,“Target”:“index://smb”,“Type”:“TreePatch”} > ⚠ If result contains newly created files, you should now launch ‘/root/RPMs/Pydio/cells admin datasource rehash’ command. However, we see none of the files or directories being added to the environment. Thank you for your time. ---

Is there anyone who can point me to a procedure or document for the proper procedure? Should I just give up on this product and look for a different solution? ---

Hello @jcouncil You have cross device problem You may either 1. Create a datasource in /mnt/test/subfolder For more information please visit: [[SOLVED] Samba Workspace](https://forum.pydio.com/t/solved-samba-workspace/2483) or 1. use environmental variable `CELLS_MINIO_ALLOW_CROSSMOUNT=true` [Mount smb/cifs as datasource does not work in v4.2.2 - #15 by nodejs](https://forum.pydio.com/t/mount-smb-cifs-as-datasource-does-not-work-in-v4-2-2/5361/15) ---
