  1. SyncDb: failed to execute query to save file info

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    BitTorrent support told me that they were aware of this issue on ARM/low-powered device and they were working on it.

     

    I upgraded to version 1.3.105 and I do not see the error on my raspberry pi/USB disk nor my Synology NAS anymore.

     

    Both device are syncing ok and there is less crashing issue on the synology lately.

     

    Not sure what version fixed the issue but it looks like it's working now.

     

    It has only been a couple of day since I upgraded so I prefer to wait a bit before confirming the issue as solved.

  2. Android - Not Syncing Back To Phone

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Using Android 1.3.19.0, Mac OS X 1.3.86, ARM 1.3.86, x64 1.3.86

     

    I want a two way synchronisation with my Android phone so that:

    - when I take a new picture I can access it from my macbook

    - when I do some clean and erase a picture from the macbook it gets erased from my phone

     

    I used to be able to do that by adding a normal sync folder to my phone and click on "auto-sync"

    However now, new pictures from the phones are not sync'd back to the laptop.

     

    I can't use the backup options because the only secret you allow to share is a read only one...

     

    Is this a bug or a feature?

    Hello,

     

    Thank's for this version ^^

     

    I think I have discovered an translation error in french in the notification :

    855776Capture.png

     

    Translation : the syncronisation with OFFLINE devices terminated

     

    A correct translation could be "Current a terminé la synchronisation"

     

    EDIT: Windows 7, 64bit ^^

     

    Il n'y a pas de difference entre ce que tu as ecris et ce qui est affiche.

    What you wrote is the same than what is displayed.

  8. Feedback: BTSync on Linux

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    Some feedback for Linux:

    - have a btsync-client which allows to see the progress on transfers because when we use the config file we have no idea of what's going on (and the logs are not helpful)

    - have a command to allow btsync to reload the configuration file (without having to stop/start it)

    Otherwise it's a good piece of software :)

  9. SyncDb: failed to execute query to save file info

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    @Dantounet: seems to be an I/O error, according to the error number (it's the sqlite error returned). Maybe the hard drive (or… SD card ? don't tell me you're using btsync on an sd-card…) has some problems.

    Also, the RPi has an unreliable USB connection - this may create some problems if you have an USB hard drive…

    For such a use, maybe the cubieboard[1] is better, as it has a dedicated sata port, and it's a bit more robust…

    Have a look at system logs (such as dmesg), it may give you some more information.

    Cheers,

    Thanks SwissTengu,

    Unfortunately my RPi is already deployed into another country so hard for me to migrate to cubieboard. I'll have a look later though.

    Would it be possible to make btsync more robust to I/O errors ? It still logs a lot of


    [20130815 13:19:51.025] SyncDb: failed to prepare query to save metadata - 1802
    [20130815 13:19:51.027] SyncDb: failed to prepare statement to query metadata - 1802

    But the data still get downloaded and written on the USB Disk.

    No error in dmesg or syslog though :unsure:

  10. Manage your passwords - Control your data

    in Sync Stories

    Posted

    I have been using https://lastpass.com/ for while. The issue is that the data is kept on their server and we know that it is difficult to trust US data centers.

    I am now using 1Password ( https://agilebits.com/onepassword) with BTsync.

    1Password allows you to choose where you locally store your passwords. You just need to add such folder to BitTorrent Sync. I now share my passwords between my two desktops (WinXP/Mac OS X) and my android phone securely as the data is kept only on my machines.

    Hi,

    Your mates can use the same secret for their folders and sync everything using BitTorrent Sync. On your side you add such folder to your config as Read Only (so you won't change their data). However there are few limitations:

    • You cannot currently specify the interface on which BitTorrent Sync listens so you will not be able to force the transfers over the VPN. BitTorrent Sync transfers are encrypted and it also support indirect connections so this not an actual problem and it should still work.
    • It will sync everything and currently (as far as I know) only the android client support "selective sync". However if you are likely to use your files from an android device then you can do that and just select the files you want to download and it will do it from both of your mates (as long as their computers are on).

  17. Latest Sync Build: 1.1.70

    Just a note for anyone else pulling their hair out trying to get btsync working on Linux: putting it in /usr/local/bin/btsync might be logical but will create such a huge permission mess that you will never get it working. Just give in and throw it in /home/user/btsync or someplace else nice and open

    I have it in /usr/local/bin/btsync on my raspberry pi and even create an init file for it and I have absolutely no issues as long as you run it with the same user who owns the files.

  18. [Android] File is still listed in remote tab whereas it was erased from all hosts

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    I am using version 1.1.27 of Android app and versions 1.1.48 on various hosts (ARM, x64 and Mac OS X).

    on one of the folders I share, a file was removed long time ago from all folders but it is still listed in the remote tab of my folder.

    In the mean time new files were added and they are successfully displayed in the remote tab and I also successfully sync'd them.

    Since then (long after the dodgy file was removed from the other hosts) I passed the folder in "auto sync mode".

    Anyway, the file is stuck in the list so I guess it's a bug. What is particular with this file is that it's named contained dodgy characters such as '?=%'

    Is it a known bug?

    After using btsync a lot from servers (no web gui) a good feature would be that if we send a HUP signal to the btsync process it reload the config (add/remove folders or change options on folders)

    Because at the moment when you shut btsync it can be quite long on poor performance hardware as I am guessing it writes stuff in the DB before closing and moreover it interrupts the current transfers.
