  3. Cause:
    4. The message suggests that a stable connection between the ServosityOBS server and the corresponding User Home cannot be established. In other words, connection timeout has occurred when connecting to the User Home.
  4. Resolution:
    5. To resolve the issue, please verify if the system log on the operating system contain any information regarding I/O error.

    Furthermore, please ensure that a stable connection from the ServosityOBS server to the corresponding User Home can be established. You could verify on the stability of the connection by entering the command:

    (Windows) tracert [target name]
    (Linux/Unix) traceroute [target name]

    Finally, please also rebuild the User Storage for the corresponding user afterward.

    You can do so by logging into ServosityOBS console, and then select [Manage User] -> [User Profile], you shall see an option just under the user summary called [File Validation Option], clicking on this will display the options and a [Check] button. Please enable the [Verify Checksum] option, and click on the [Check] button to start the single user rebuild.
