On davfs2 this is sometimes failing and I don't know why. I tried manually removing the stale .unison copies several times. I tried different folder names and shorter pathes, different locations, but with this directory it's always failing. All the other several Gigabytes on the WebDAV server are working fine with unison, and there is enough space free. net-misc/unison-2.53.8 net-fs/davfs2-1.7.3 # unison -ui text DAV_Documents -fastcheck true -debug all ...
