+>you said before the error was \"Read-only file system\". Now you're saying it's \"Cross-device link\". I'm slightly confused.
+
+;-)  Sorry for confusion, here are the details:
+
+\"Read-only file system\" -- that error appeared when I started \"stock git annex\", i.e. from running /data/data/ga.androidterm/lib/lib.start.so .
+Since you have suggested that it might be coming from hard linking command, I have ran that one manually, and that is when I got \"Cross-device link\" error, which suggests that hard linking is not the one at fault here.
+
+I will try fresh build now
+Cheers,

+You should be able to run /data/data/ga.androidterm/runshell even if you cannot ls /data. This adds /data/data/ga.androidterm/bin to PATH
+
+However, the shell that the app starts is started by runshell anyway, so I don't understand how this could happen.

+Hi again.
+
+talking about 4.20130523-gcfe07a2 version:
+
+- because working in the terminal to interact with git-annex probably should not be a common case on Android, may be it is worth making default type of new added repository to become a full backup?  I have initiated a new one, attached a remote one, it said \"synced\" but all the files were just containing symlinks and were not usable.  I had to switch to \"full backup\" (or whatever that name) to finally get directory synced
+
+- log file might grow too large simply because of containing numerous entries for attempting connect remote repository while offline, e.g.
+
+Please make sure you have the correct access rights
+and the repository exists.
+ssh: Could not resolve hostname onerussian.com: No address associated with hostname
+fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
+
+IMHO those should not be there at all, e.g. if it is known that ATM there is no network connectivity
+
+- In addition to two existing repositories (1 local /sdcard/annex, which is also avail at/storage/sdcard0/annex + 1 remote) I have added one more local (and said to keep it in sync with original local).  But it didn't work -- it \"Synced with onerussian.com_annex but not with Annex\" and claimed that the /external/extSdCard/Annex doesn't exist, although it is there (and with .git generated etc).  When I restarted the deamon I got into a \"new\" Repository: /storage/extSdCard/Annex which also listed the 1st local but with \"Failed to sync with localhost\" message -- no remote one listed.  Whenever I try to \"Switch repository\" to /sdcard/annex (the original local) -- it starts loading a new page but gets stuck right there.  The only way to revive webui is to go back to Dashboard.  Log there says (retyping from the screen so typos might be there):
+
+error: cannot run git-receive-pack '/storage/sdcard0/annex': No such file or directory
+fatal: unable to fork

To be clear, the web app says that the program crashed, the console is still there.  I suspect that it may have something to do with my largish remote repo and the time required to sync just the metadata, but I can't tell.  Any ideas what I should do next?

+
+So I deleted the repo on my phone (via the CLI since the web app seemed hung) and recreated it; this time making sure that I set things to manual mode ASAP.  It didn't have the problem it was having before, but now what seems to have happened is that it fetches from the remote, commits to the local repo, and then immediately fetches and commits again.  It looks like it's about a 4s repeat loop.  Any ideas what I should do next?

+The Android app works on many non-rooted Android systems.

+The \"link busybox: Read-only file system\" means that `/data/data/ga.androidterm/lib/lib.busybox.so` cannot be hard linked to `/data/data/ga.androidterm/busybox`. That's not normal. I'd appreciate if you could provide more information on your Android device, like Android version and model number.

+@yarikoptic, there is a process you can perform that will help me determine what's going on.
+
+You should be able to get the git-annex app to let you into a shell. You can do this by starting the app, and then going into its configuration menu, to Preferences, selecting \"Command Line\", and changing it to run \"/system/bin/sh\"
+
+Then when you open a new window in the git-annex app, you'll be at a shell prompt. From there, you can run:
+
+ls -ld /data/data/ga.androidterm
+
+I'm interested to know a) whether the directory exists and b) what permissions and owner it has. On my tablet, I get back \"drwxr-x--x app_39 app_39\" .. and if I run `id` in the shell, it tells me it's running as `app_39`.
+
+My guess is the directory probably does exist, but cannot be written to by the app. If you're able to verify that, the next step will be to investigate if there is some other directory that the app can write to. It needs to be able to write to someplace that is not on the `/sdcard` to install itself.

+Hi, I have exactly the same problem with the link that fails on my phone. However, I checked the permissions and they are as you describe on your tablet (except for the app number). At the same time, everything is fine on my tablet... The phone runs an old Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 (Android 2.3.7) while the tablet is a more recent Asus TF700T (Android 4.1.1). Let me know if you want me to run tests.

+Finally got to check it out:  so indeed hardlinking fails but not because of permissions but \"link failed Cross-device link\"  that lib is -> /mnt/asec/ga.androidterm-1/lib  which resides on a different partition (vfat, /dev/block/dm-2, ro) from /data (ext4, /dev/block/mmcblk0p10)

+@yarikoptic you said before the error was \"Read-only file system\". Now you're saying it's \"Cross-device link\". I'm slightly confused.
+
+I've reworked the android app to not need any hard links. Try the current autobuild: <http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/android/git-annex.apk>
