  1. Is there a way to have it so that bit torrent sync will only sync when the external hard drive is plugged in (AKA at home base and not on the road)?

    hi,

    i have tested that scenario with my laptop running at linux with the package btsync-gui by tuxpoldo ( http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/28106-linux-desktop-gui-unofficial-packages-for-bittorrent-sync/ ), but i think the behaviour of the core is the same.

    it is working with my settings, but i had to keep in mind that when there is an active transfer to that or from that plugged storage i can not unplugged it safe via the OS because i got an errormessage that a programm is locking that device. after the transfer was over, i was able to unplug the storage. but at the webpage (http://localhost:xxxxx) the folder was still listed as active until the interval was over which was set for the parameter "folder_rescan_interval" (default: 600s) at the config-file. after that interval that folder was listed with the information "Folder not found" until the storage was plugged in again

    perhaps somebody with a mac can verify that behaviour at his os ;-)

    greetings

  2. Having a major problem here - my btsync server is indexing like crazy! All of my machines re-indexed after 1.2, but apparently my server hasn't stopped indexing since then (it's reading at 10-50 MB/s all the time). It's running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, and frankly, I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting.

    Suggestions?

     

    i had the same issue after upgrading 1.2.xx on my several server (i386, x64 and rpi)

    so i tried some things an i found out when i delete and reintegrate the folders on the maschine via the web-ui without deleting the folders in the filesystem. the system is reindexing in a normal way after reintegrating the folders

  3. Why don't you just make a symlink yourself?


    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/btsybc
    sudo ln -s <wathever_the_dir_you_want> /var/lib/btsybc

    morning,

    i thought about a symlink too, but i think it is possible that a new user of btsync will not have the information about the processes inside that directory. it was only an idea of me to integrate it. maybe with a message like: "may be changed on systems with / on a sd-card or ssd" ;-)

    Something like this... But perhaps in the next release...

    thanks for your great support.

    greetings

  4. But I'm wondering why you want to customize also the "storage_path". A general storage in /var/lib/<appname> is standard for nearby any application. I can also add it to the questions in the configuration stage, but can you tell me why you want this?

    hello mr. moll,

    i was asking for customizing "storage_path" because i use btsync at on of my raspberry pi which runs on a sd-card and a usb-hdd for the synced data. to increase the life of the used sd-card i need an another directory for "storage_path" because the meta-data are stored inside that directory. ;-)

    greetings
