I have an annex that I use to store my digital photos. I had a few false starts creating this annex, but now it's looking good on my server: root@titan.local:/tank/Media/Pictures# git annex status supported backends: SHA256E SHA1E SHA512E SHA224E SHA384E SHA256 SHA1 SHA512 SHA224 SHA384 WORM URL supported remote types: git S3 bup directory rsync web hook trusted repositories: 0 semitrusted repositories: 2 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web be88bc5a-17e2-11e2-a99b-d388d4437350 -- here (titan) untrusted repositories: 0 dead repositories: 5 0A9F3136-A12A-43C7-9BE2-33F59954FD52 -- vulcan 57349F02-E497-4420-9230-6B15D8AB14EE -- vulcan 6195C912-2707-4B75-AC8C-11C51FAA8FE0 -- vulcan D51DEDC4-9255-4A99-8520-2B1CED337674 -- hermes EE327B34-3E20-4B5B-8F0E-D500CBC9738D -- hermes transfers in progress: none available local disk space: unknown local annex keys: 20064 local annex size: 217 gigabytes known annex keys: 21496 known annex size: 217 gigabytes bloom filter size: 16 mebibytes (4% full) backend usage: SHA256E: 41560 root@titan.local:/tank/Media/Pictures# git annex unused unused . (checking for unused data...) ok It passes `git annex fsck` without any problems. However, when I "git clone" this annex to my desktop machine and then do a `git annex sync`, I see this: Vulcan /Volumes/tank/Media/Pictures (master) $ git annex status supported backends: SHA256E SHA1E SHA512E SHA224E SHA384E SHA256 SHA1 SHA512 SHA224 SHA384 WORM URL supported remote types: git S3 bup directory rsync web hook trusted repositories: 0 semitrusted repositories: 5 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web 0A9F3136-A12A-43C7-9BE2-33F59954FD52 -- vulcan 274D3474-7A25-44CD-8368-CF11C451014F -- here (vulcan) EE327B34-3E20-4B5B-8F0E-D500CBC9738D -- hermes be88bc5a-17e2-11e2-a99b-d388d4437350 -- titan untrusted repositories: 0 dead repositories: 3 57349F02-E497-4420-9230-6B15D8AB14EE -- vulcan 6195C912-2707-4B75-AC8C-11C51FAA8FE0 -- vulcan D51DEDC4-9255-4A99-8520-2B1CED337674 -- hermes transfers in progress: none available local disk space: 1 terabyte (+1 megabyte reserved) local annex keys: 0 local annex size: 0 bytes known annex keys: 21025 known annex size: 217 gigabytes bloom filter size: 16 mebibytes (0% full) backend usage: SHA256: 18707 SHA256E: 2318 Where did all these `SHA256` keys come from? Why doesn't the known annex keys size match? Further, I cannot `git annex get` on most of the files, because it says that the `SHA256` key is not present. It looks like I'll have to rollback my ZFS snapshots and start over, but I'm wondering: how was I even able to create this situation? > [[Done]]; user error. --[[Joey]]
