btw is .ocdata used for anything else?

Btw, the warning should show up in Security & setup warnings right?
Because for me nothing displayes in there, even when I remove the .htaccess

@nickvergessen hmm, in my case nothing showed up either that's why I added the t=xxx suffix to bust the cache. Can you check your network console ?

The .ocdata file is used to confirm that this folder is actually a data directory in case it gets unmounted by mistake (ex: rebooted system where the mount is missing).

Okay, I used a datadir outside the server root, so the check is skipped.
Works now 👍

One question: because there are now many instances out which use .ocdata.
Should there be a routine included which deletes .ocdata if present?
Keeps the datadirectory clean...

@mmattel no. .ocdata is used elsewhere as explained above, we can't remove it.

Using it for data dir access was only an addition, since we knew that file would always be there.

See #22310 (comment) for more context. The issue report explains it better.

So, do we agree on this approach ? Note that this will require a backport to 9.0

Fine to me 👍
