Errors

Could not finalize upload on storage server

The blob was written (or partly written) but cleanup/finalize on the assigned storage server failed.

Could not finalize upload on storage server

The upload reached the storage server step, then finalize/cleanup failed. The member does not get a healthy active file.

Why this happens

After parts are ready, the app writes the object to the assigned storage backend and removes the local work directory. If cleanup fails after a write, the code rolls back when it can and throws Could not finalize upload on storage server. Common causes: storage node unreachable, disk full on the node, permission errors, or object-store errors mid-finalize.

Diagnose and fix

1. Admin → Servers — is the target server On, healthy, and not read-only / over disk cap?

2. Health Center and storage node logs (second VPS: journalctl -u xfileultra-storage when you use a remote node).

3. Disk on that server: df -h on the storage path.

4. For CDN / S3 backends: credentials, bucket permissions, and endpoint URL.

5. Ask the member to retry; if the pending file stuck, they may need to start a new upload after you fix the node.
