  1. I am somewhat disappointed that I do not receive any reaction to the problem described here.

    In the meantime, I have found out that the sync service can be restarted when you stop the sync service with

    sudo systemctl stop resilio-sync

    and 

     systemctl --user stop resilio-sync

    and start it again with

     systemctl --user start resilio-sync

    In addition, after switching to another user under Ubuntu, you must first stop and restart the services as described so that the sync process runs properly.

  2. This sync issue has nothing to do with an upgrade. It was just a coincidence.

    After I didn't get a response to my first request, I uninstalled resilio sync and reinstalled it. After a few days, the same phenomenon occurred again. The files are no longer synchronized. The client of resilio sync from this computer no longer appears in the clients of resilio sync on other computers. If you log in via the web gui of resilio sync, you won't get to the previous settings. It starts again with the initial setup.

  3. I installed Resilio on Ubuntu 18.04 from repository and ran Sync under current user(s). I started using Resilio with two different users at the same computer and synced folders between them an other computers with configurating them with the web-gui. Right at the beginning, I couldn't configure the settings of the users with die web-gui anymore because resilio always asked for a new user configuration. But it worked (synced) and so I didn't  dare. After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.10 and an (automatic) upgrade  of Resilio the computer doesn't sync anymore. Resilio still starts with entry

    systemctl --user start resilio-sync

    in gnome-session-property.

    and seem to be active, when I use

    systemctl --user status resilio-sync

    it shows

    But it doesn't sync and Resilio on the other computers doesn't show this computer anymore.

    Any ideas how to fix that? Thanks. 

  4. That would be awsome. We are still using 'Debian And Ubuntu Legacy Desktop Unofficial Packages For Bittorrent Sync' from Tuxpoldo with 6 PCs. But this Package still use Bittorrent Sync 1.4.111. Tuxpoldo seems to have set his work.

    An official .deb package of bittorrent sync for Ubuntu and Ubuntu Gnome would be great.

  5. It's important to let Sync finish indexing your folders before powering off your device. If indexing is incomplete/interrupted, whilst this won't do any harm, it will mean that the next time you start your computer (and Sync), Sync will attempt to re-index the folder(s) again.

     

    Once you've allowed Sync to fully index your 150GB folder, it shouldn't need to re-index it again upon subsequent runs.

     

    I wasn't referring to a folder's initial indexing. I was referring to the "rescans". They need a long time every time I startup the PCs (Linux Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, 32bit, Linux Ubuntu 13.10 64bit).

  6. I use two linux servers in two different networks (192.168.ABC.X and 192.168.DEF.X) who are connected to each other via VPN.

    On both servers are the same folders /srv/sharedfolder. The data of this folders are synced with btsync. Both servers offers an access to the stored files for Windows clients without passwords etc. with Samba. The samba configuration is:


    [sharedfolder]
    path = /srv/sharedfolder
    public = yes
    writeable = yes
    printable = no
    guest ok = yes
    create mask = 777
    directory mask = 777

    After syncing the data with btsync from one server to the other a windows client in the other network can open the synced file but not overwrite it. To do that I have to set the ownership of the files on the server in the other network from 770 to 777 manually after syncing.

    Is there a way to configure btsync or samba to keep the rights of the files?

  7. 1. Does a .SyncIgnore file in a sync folder works with all sub folders?

    2. Is it possible to use a .SyncIgnore file in a folder and another .SyncIgnore file in a sub folder with further rules?

    3. Is it possible to use a .SyncIgnore file in a sub folder with * so that no files are synced from this subfolder?

  8. At last I found the concerned file and removed it. Now the problem is solved. It wasn't easy because there are more than 100k+ files in thausends of folders and the file was a duplicate within another folder.

    Is it possible to show the concerned files in GUI in such a case with the right path?

  9. Well, according to your log, this issue with your thunderbird.eml file looks like it could be related to the length of file name (or more specifically, the total combination of the length of its absolute path + filename)? Is the "thunderbird.eml" file nested really deep?

    The lenght of first folder is 12 characters and the lenght of subfolder 10 characters. The name of the thunderbirdfile is indeed quite long because Thunderbird uses the subject heading for file name.

    But within the same subfolder are three more thunderbird files with the same name + number 1 to 3 at the end. There are no problems with these files.

  10. Looks like the files in question are temporary Office files i.e. opening the file "H113252013002510.docx" in Word is creating an additional "~$H113252013002510.docx" file in the same folder (which will be removed once you close the main file in Word). This is normal behavior for Office, but you should consider excluding these temporary files from Sync by adding "~$" to your .SyncIgnore files

    This might be an explaination for the "~$..." files. But it is no explanation for the .eml (Thundbird email) file. The Btsync GUI always shows that there are 10.0 kB left to sync. It seems that this error concerns only one file but there are many temporary Office files.

  11. At first I'd like to thank for this marvelous tool and all the work you are doing for it.

    This tool works fine on several Linux PCs (Ubuntu 12.04 32bit, 64bit, 13.04 64bit etc.).

    Sometimes the sync stops without finishing it. The sync.log file shows:


    [20130611 12:23:54.317] Extension: ipv4:[88.73.213.XYZ] for '~$H113252013002510.docx'
    [20130611 12:23:54.319] 192.168.ABC.EFG:62979: did not pick any blocks. blocking peer temporarily
    [20130611 12:23:54.427] Extension: ipv4:[88.73.213.XYZ] for '~$file name ABC.dot'
    [20130611 12:23:54.427] *** ~$H113252013002510.docx: PIECE 0 FAILED HASH CHECK
    [20130611 12:23:54.554] *** ~$file name ABC.dot: PIECE 0 FAILED HASH CHECK
    [20130611 12:23:54.579] *** long file name from thunderbird.eml: PIECE 0 FAILED HASH CHECK

    Is there any reason, why btsync cannot sync some files?

    Thanks in advance
