  1. Latest Sync Build: 1.1.70

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    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 on all my linux boxes, no problem whatsoever. You might run in trouble using btsync without a given config, as the default ist to create a .sync folder in the directory where the binary resides. So a user call of btsync (without --config) will result in btsync trying to create /usr/local/bin/.sync which should fail as users normally aren't allowed to write there.

    Anyway I would also appreciate btsync respecting $HOME so it could create $HOME/.sync instead of <path of directory of btsync>/.sync which is indeed ridiculous.

    BTW. I use following line for upgrades in case anyone is interested:

    VER=1.1.48 ; curl http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/$VER/btsync_x64-$VER.tar.gz | gunzip -d - | sudo tar xfv - -C /usr/local/bin && /etc/init.d/btsync restart

  2. Files Synced Down As "ROOT" user.

    You should let your initscript fix this issue. I have one like https://gist.github.com/MendelGusmao/5398362 which starts a btsync process for each user in a given list and uses ~/.sync/config.json . There are many ways for root to start a process as a user, initscrips fpr debian usually use start-stop-daemon.

    "apt-get only works as root" is (almost)true on the one hand but utterly unrelated. Even if you don't use any initscript at all you can simply run the "apt-get installed" program as user.

    Take care, "@reboot" is not supported by all cron daemons, check your local manpage.

  3. btsync on arm - fail to sync to arm based computer

    It's also a Marvell chip as in the Dreamplug

    It's Marvell 88f5182 @500MHz

    cat /proc/cpuinfo

    Processor : Feroceon rev 0 (v5l)

    BogoMIPS : 331.77

    Features : swp half thumb fastmult edsp

    CPU implementer : 0x41

    CPU architecture: 5TEJ

    CPU variant : 0x0

    CPU part : 0x926

    CPU revision : 0

    Hardware : QNAP TS-109/TS-209

    Revision : 0000

    Serial : 0000000000000000

    Btw. the new version 1.1.22 runs fine again but also no syncing so we still have to wait.

  6. Running btsync on a TS-109 under debian

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm running the ARM release (1.0.116 - 1.0.134) on my TS-109pro II running Debian squeeze. It comes up fine I'm able to login and configure my syncs, all seems good, except no files arrive. to be more specific here is what works:

    - All syncing from the TS-109 to any other computer

    - Syncing of the directory structure and even all symlinks from any computer to the TS-109

    What does not work:

    - Syncing of actual data from any computer to the TS-109

    The log has many lines like:

    "

    Torrent test.001 status: 137 error: <NULL> meta: 1

    "

    Has anyone experienced anythig alike?
