File was changed on a read-only Agent, it won't be synced

The error appears in Sync jobs for read-only agents.

Read-only agents can only download files and pass the unchanged files over to other agents. However, if a file is changed locally on a Read-only agent, it's not propagated to others. Further behavior is controlled by setting Overwrite any changed files in the Agent Profile.

If it's enabled, the changed files will be re-downloaded from a read-write agent.

If it's disabled, the files that changed on a read-only get invalidated and the agents stops syncing them and the error will show up. Even if these files are updated somehow or deleted on either of Read-Write agent, they won't be synced.

To fix the error set "Overwrite any changed files" to Yes. Folder rescan on read-only agent or the agent restart might be required. If file invalidation is expected, simply ignore the error message.

Error code: SE_FS_INVALIDATED_FILE
