The log says source not stable yet
Low risk✓ ProvenWhat you see
- The log shows source not stable yet.
- ShadowMountPlus waits before recognizing a game folder or image.
What it means
ShadowMountPlus waits until a source (a folder or image of your own game backup) is old enough before it processes it. Newer sources are put off until they are stable, and the log shows source not stable yet. This usually means the files are still being copied or written. The wait is set by stability_wait_seconds, which is 10 seconds by default.
What to do
Let the copy finish
Wait until the copy or transfer of the game files has fully finished. Then check /data/shadowmount/debug.log again.
Only if needed, adjust the stability wait
The README says you can change stability_wait_seconds in /data/shadowmount/config.ini. It accepts values from 0 to 3600 seconds. Change only this setting, as the README describes it.
When to stop
Do not force the mount during a copy
Do not try to force the mount while files are still being written. Wait for the copy to end first.
