Hi,
All files get deleted if a synced external hard drive becomes inaccessible.
Specifically, with the following setup:
1. Original files on a mac running syncapp
2. Raspberry pi with empty external USB HDD running syncapp, retrieving files from mac
If the external drive becomes unusable but not properly unmounted -- a very common issue with raspberry pis not providing sufficient power to external drives -- Syncapp believes the files have all been deleted and replicates the deletions in other computers.
Ideally, if all files become suddenly inaccessible they should not be assumed to be deleted.
My only workaround is to use read-only mode on the unstable drive, but there should be a different kind of check in place...
(sorry, no log files)
