thanks nils. i diffed the contents of both folders, and the read-only does contain everything (except syncignored files) plus undeleted folders. so theres nothing missing, the numbers in the UI are wrong. and folders do not get deleted. i wrote an email regarding both to the team.

hi, on my desktop btsync says "1.3GB in 1067 files". on a second machine with read-only-access it says "1.0 GB in 1023 files". Additionally, files i delete on the Desktop are not deleted in the read-only folder. I create those folder by initially copying it with external hard drives between my machines, as the network is quite slow. i already tried removing and re-adding the folder to btsync on both machines. Logs are not helpful here, although recently i get some of these: [date] Download using patch (diff:0) path/to/file/IMGP1903.JPG [date] [OnNotifyFileChange] /mnt/usbhdd/path/to/file/IMGP1903.JPG [date] Finished downloading file path/to/file/IMGP1903.JPG, writing file attributes mt:1281548390 [date] [OnNotifyFileChange] /mnt/usbhdd/path/to/file/IMGP1903.JPG [date] Torrent magnet (<some hash>) status:137 error:<NULL> meta:0 conns:1 io:0 [date] Torrent IMGP1903.JPG status:137 error:<NULL> meta:1 conns:0 io:0 [date] Force unloading torrent IMGP1903.JPG although i can't find any that seem connected to the incomplete folder. btsync versions are newest. any ideas?

hi, i have btsync running on an raspberry pi and the sync.log grew until there was no space left on the sd card, by then it reached 12GB. is this a bug or the usual behaviour for logfiles and i need to logrotate? thanks, jaykay

today i learned you need to search for "nested" sync folders to find some discussions about 3. tl;dr: not possible with btsync right now, but support probably gets added at some time or another. under windows moving the nested folder somewhere else and creating a link inside the old folder should work fine, as long as you don't need paths like \parentDirectory\link\someSubdirectory to work. othwise you could create symlinks, but i do not know how btsync handles these.

@greatMarko: i thought about how to search for this, but "nested" didn't cross my mind, thanks. @joebush: don't ask why i didn't try it out with some test dir... @Shot2: thats what i thought, i didn't see any reason why it shouldn't work. thanks guys!

why shouldnt it be possible? generate secrets for /data/readdir/, and start syncing with the read-only secret. then generate secrets for /data/readdir/writedir/, and add this folder on all machines with the full access secret. expected behaviour: peer writes to readdir: nothing happens. peer writes to readdir/writedir: the change gets synced. main machine writes anywhere: the change gets synced. can bittorrent sync handle this? edit: does it change anything if i said /data/readdir/ from my main machine gets synced to other devices as usual, but /data/readdir/writedir gets synced to another location on those other devices, not into a subfolder of the original sync dir?

as i said, for me it *just works*, without dyndns or any port settings. and everyone who has the secrets has access, noone else.

in my case, i have an RPi behind a router with a dynamic ip. and it just works, even without setting a listening port and port forwarding. i don't know why, but hey, it works. i guess this is the magic of the bittorrent-protocol when you need other services to access your RPi from outside you LAN, google "dyndns".

i have a large folder, which is backupped by two devices with read access. one subfolder should be synced with the same machines with read/write access, as i want to use it like a dropbox. how to set this up is clear, but my question is whether bittorrent sync will handle this correctly, as in not trying to write a new file two times, as it is in two sync folders regards, jaykay
