    That's great, since I was not able to create a builder environment for jessie (there is still an error with debootstrap).

    It runs on a headless server. I use the desktop version on my pc's running LMDE without issues.

    I restarted btsync and it seems to run fine but no return on netsat command:

    root@fileserver:~# service btsync restart

    [....] Stopping P2P file synchronisation daemon(s)...[....] Stopping btsync in[ ok e 'debconf-default':.

    SID installs btsync fine.

    Now my last question, how to run it as user and make it available with gui.

    I made following config file in /etc/btsync with name user.sierink.conf



    //!/usr/sbin/btsync-daemon --config
    //
    // (c) 2013 YeaSoft Int'l - Leo Moll
    //
    // This btsync configuration file shows how to configure a btsync
    // instance running under specific user credentials.
    // Credentials can be embeded in the filename of the configuration
    // file:
    // 
    // filename.conf                - no credential specified. The
    //                                instance will run as root:root
    // filename.<user>.conf         - Instance will run as <user> with
    //                                the primary group of <user>
    // filename.<user>.<group>.conf - Instance will run as user:group
    //
    // This example will launch an instance running under the credentials
    // of the user "jdoe"
    // The internal data of the btsync daemon will be written in
    // /home/jdoe/.btsync
    // Since the web gui is disabled, the user cannot configure anything.
    // The instance offers one replicated directory located in
    // /home/jdoe/syncdir
    //
    {

    One thing more: please send me the result of executing the following commands (sorry - I have no jessie installed):


    basename /var/run/btsync.debconf-default.pid | cut -c8-
    BASENAME=$(basename /var/run/btsync.debconf-default.pid | cut -c8-); echo ${BASENAME%%.pid}

    root@fileserver:~# basename /var/run/btsync.debconf-default.pid | cut -c8-

    debconf-default.pid

    root@fileserver:~# BASENAME=$(basename /var/run/btsync.debconf-default.pid | cut -c8-); echo ${BASENAME%%.pid}

    debconf-default

    Please tell me if this has solved your problem. In the meantime I will try to find out, why the script tries to delete the wrong pid-file under certain circumstances.

    I can now start and stop it, the pidfile can be from another instance of btsync i used before installing your package.

    I guess btsync was not running because the grep command gave:

    root@fileserver:~# ps ax | grep btsync

    31175 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep btsync

    One more please:


    ls -la /var/run/

    I suppose, that your instance of btsync was not running when you entered the command?

    OK. As I can see, the stop routine is trying to stop two intances (one named 'btsync', the other named 'debconf-default.pid'), but according to your config files, you should only have the instance named 'btsync' running. Can you please show me the contents of your /var/run directory?

    root@fileserver:~# ls -la /var/run

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 sierink sierink 4 Apr 8 21:49 /var/run -> /run

    That's really interesting. I am trying to reproduce the error, but I am not able to do so. It seems that the decomposition of the name does not work correctly:

    Your upgrade is on ubuntu, mine on debian jessie, with the btsync wheezy package (there seems to be no jessie package yet).

    I updated my server to debian 'jessie'. Some packages updated fine but others don't upgrade because the system wants to remove btsync. However the removing gives an error:

    I tried this version on debian wheezy, first i purged the previous 'server' version. It seems to install fine, but during install there is not the configuration steps. It does not start either.

    As i just noticed your message above i tried to run the commands but i get an error:

    laptop ~ # /usr/lib/btsync/btsync-agent --config /etc/btsync-user/btsync-user.conf

    bash: /usr/lib/btsync/btsync-agent: file or folder does not exist

    This is weird but I believe that it's start-stop-daemon's fault, somehow.

    How you found that 10 seconds is the disk access interval?

    Running btsync --config from the command line shows the same symptom?

    I use this (http://code.google.com/p/spindown/) to spindown and monitor the disks. When i stop the deamon with your script disk accessing is stopped, when i start the deamon, disks are accessed again about every 10 seconds.

    Running the deamon with btsync --config spins tje disks up every 10 minutes as programmed by the developers to scan for file changes.

  13. harddisk spinup by BTSync App

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I don't want to start a discussion whether it is good practice to spin your disks down or not, but some of my disks contain data which is not used daily and i let these disks spindown.

    However the Sync App acesses the folder/files every 10 minutes so the disks spinup again.

    It would be nice to have a setting how often the app checks the files for changes. Preferably per folder setting because some folder are changed more frequently than others. Or maybe even an option to set a daily or twice daily scan time.
