This error message was introduced in Resilio Active Everywhere Platform 4.0.0 and is related to the File policy functionality.
Recording of files' access time is not enabled on the Windows OS where the Agent is installed. Cache cleanup policy may work unexpectedly.
The Agent can set error during job initialization only. During job the Agent doesn’t check this setting and does not report the error. File access time update is required for the Resilio Agents to manage the cached files in File cache and Hybrid jobs.
By default, the Windows server has file access time disabled. To enable it, run the command in Powershellfsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0
There are some peculiarities of how access time update works on NTFS and FAT32:
File Times - Win32 apps
If this param is changed directly in the registry, the values should be:
80000000 (hex) = User Managed, Last Access Updates Enabled
80000001 (hex) = User Managed, Last Access Updates Disabled
80000002 (hex) = System Managed, Last Access Updates Enabled
80000003 (hex) = System Managed, Last Access Updates Disabled
Different Windows versions can show different messages when applying the changes, but actual result the same, for example:
Win 10 PRO 22H2 (status Disabled may confuse, but its means DisableLastAccess+ Disabled this setting = enabled updates):
P:\
λ fsutil behavior set DisableLastAccess 0
DisableLastAccess = 0 (User Managed, Disabled)
Win Server 2022 21H2 reports a more human readable message:
C:\Windows\system32>fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0
DisableLastAccess = 0 (User Managed, Last Access Time Updates ENABLED)
This operation takes effect immediately (no reboot required)
