Error “unable to connect to service” Rstudio-server CentOS 8

Error Information:

I use network drives for my R projects and when I get disconnected from my session I cant log in back on a session using a working directory on a network drive. I have the error: unable to connect to service

Attempted steps taken to fix -
I can fix this problem by deleting the folder :
home/user/local/share/rstudio/sessions/active/session-xxxxxx

I changed the etc/rstudio/rserver.conf to

auth-timeout-minutes=0
auth-stay-signed-in-days=900

It is very helpful because it keeps my session ON

I turned off SELinux

System Information:

  • RStudio Edition: Server 1.4.1106
  • OS Version: CentOS 8
  • R Version: 4.0.3
  • Output of studio-server status :
    ERROR Unexpected exception: rstudio_boost::filesystem::status: Invalid argument "/networkdrive"

I am still in trouble when I open a new browser window of Rstudio server... I think this is a new issue because I dont have this issue on older version of Rstudio server.

How can I fix this ?

Thank you for your help
