Comment 14 for bug 583575

Hi,

The answer to that would be no and no. Not a peep, nary a word. Silence.
Utlimately, I resigned myself to hunting down most, but not all of the files
from several old backups and reloading what I could onto the U1 server,
having to reconstruct my databases on the way and my invoicing for the year
so far. Four days work in all. Four days where I did nothing but try and
return to a state of data integrity I was led to believe was robust. Four
days of lost productivity.

However, the problem of conflict directories and files persists whenever I
try simultaneous access from two different workstations (both now having
Lucid on them), which means that I can not add anything from the second
computer until I have logged out from the first and ensured that the sync
has occurred completely before logging out. At present, this means leaving
the machine on generally over night, before I can turn it off and connect
from the other machine, otherwise it leads to data loss.

All I can say is that it is a fairly poor show all round. I will be
cancelling the subscription shortly and transferring over to DropBox. There
are other reasons involved in this choice, and not just my despair with a
system offered as a pro solution which doesn't work as advertised (in law we
say "not fit for purpose"). I also have a Windows machine and a Mac OSX
machine in my herd, and as yet UbuntuOne does not cater for those OSes. At
least DropBox does. Even MobileMe under OSX seems to do a better job at
present.

So bad karma for UbuntuOne from me - sorry.

> On one machine the directory was renamed "dir.u1confict" and contents were

> Moved the directory out of the Ubuntu One folder, expected to see the

> Added another file and directory to the folder and the new file synced as

> conflict directory was removed. Previous files are gone (I have backups).
