+OK, sorry but it will be difficult to provide you with a copy of this repository. I hope I can still help in spite of being only a very novice git user. I checked that the git-annex:uuid.log file at the first commit was identical to the one above. The only difference is that in this first commit file there is a mention at the bottom of who created the file (me@somedomain.com) with the mention \"created repository\".
+
+So it is very possible that these nonexisting remotes are present since day 1. It is possible that I did not notice it earlier (I am not sure I had ever run git annex status in this repository since I am looking for a dropbox-like experience). What triggered my curiosity was the difficulty I had to get some data. At that point it might be that there are two independent problems. One with these nonexisting repositories, and another one with the fact that I cannot get some data in this client.
+
+Would it be useful to you to have the full history (52 revisions) of the git-annex:uuid.log file?

+Automounted USB devices are not detected by the git-annex webapp on my Debian testing/squeeze installation, only drives with entries in /etc/fstab show up in the device list. Is there any way to tweak/get around this?
+
+I'm running version 4.20131106 (couldn't manage to build the package for sid).

+Hi Joey,
+
+Could you help out with writing an init.d script to safely start and stop the webapp on a headless server?
+I made an attempt below based on examples from the internet, but have no idea if it will work.

+ DESC=\"Git Annex WebApp init script\"
+ PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid
+ SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME
+
+ case \"$1\" in
+ start)
+ printf \"%-50s\" \"Starting $NAME...\"

+ PID=`$DAEMON > /dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!`

+I've an external USB hard disc attached to my (fritzbox) router that is only accessible through SMB/CIFS. I'd like have all my annexed files on this drive in kind of direct-mode so that I can also access the files without git-annex.
+
+I tried to put a direct-mode repo on the drive but this is painfully slow. The git-annex process than runs on my desktop and accesses the repo over SMB over the slow fritzbox over USB.
+
+I'd wish that git-annex could be told to just use a (mounted) folder as a direct-mode remote.

+It's not clear to me what you are requesting here.
+
+You seem to say that running git-annex inside a mountpoint is slow. Ok. So, what possible changes to git-annex could make it fast, given that the bottleneck is the SMB/USB?
