  1. If You Have Sync Issue

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    Now that I've fixed the problem, how do I go about turning off debugging?
    Hi,

    what system do you use BTSync? On Windows/Mac you should just clicke the very same Checkbox you've used to turn on debugging.

    On linux...oh well, I really have no clue on how to ENABLE debugging in the first place.

    If you enabled debugging on Linux, would you tell, HOW you enabled it? (what steps and where)

    Then, I'm sure, we can figure out, how to disable debugging again :-)

  3. Help: Newer files overwritten by older files

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    But you already had a backup, right n_u? Not having a backup when you're using alpha software, well that wouldn't be a good idea.

    Hi, this post is not old, so I assume, you use a newer version of btsync?

    Mine is 1.1.48 and I cannot see an apha-status in the Software.

    Not with btsync --help on Linux, nor anywhere on the Windows or Mac Windows

    Also, I guessed with a mainversionnumber >1 the alpha status is not anymore.

    But, as far I see and critical bugs/errors occour like the one in this thread, it could be alpha software.

    So can anybody please state out, if this software is downloadabe as alpha or stable?

  4. Help: Newer files overwritten by older files

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I'll try to tell, what I discovered the last months and hopefully adding usefull information to this thread. When I have more time, I'll try to add some logs too, if I got THIS resolved.

    Prefs:

    -1.1.48 on WinPC/Linux/Mac

    -Full acces secrets on all shares

    -A WinPC is the origin source of the files (source of the used secrets) and Linux/Mac are the peers.

    -WinPC shares 20 folders to Linux Server

    -Mac shares 11 folders to Linux Server

    -Linux Server shares nothing itself, but should act as an ever-reachable datasource, if I need access to some data, or like to add some data to the Mac or WinPC if I'm not in front of them.

    Recognized:

    -Overwritten files which are not locked by a process.

    -The overwritten files are (sometimes) found in the .SyncArchive folder on my WinPC, where they are overwritten.

    -Overwriting happens, when all btsyncs are running over some days, or if one of the btsync is restarted. When I restart the Linux-btsync, I can reproduce this faster.

    -If a newer file is overwritten, I can just change it again and it will then be overwritten again and again and again, if I repeat changing it. It stops after some manual changes to the file, then it seems, that btsync has accepted my choice :-)

    Done:

    -Systemclocks on all devices get their time from the same timeserver. They're (almost) identical.

    -.!Sync, .SyncTemp, or .SyncPart files are deleted on WinPC/Linux/Mac and btsync is restarted too

    Apparently, the issue seems to only happen for "some" files.

    Example1:

    On WinPC (folder sync only to Linux)

    An XML file, which is changed by a opened program gets overwritten after closing the program.

    Btsync overwrites the changes back from the old file stored on the Linux server

    Example2:

    On the Mac (folder syncs only to Linux)

    An opened and changed XLS file (as described some posts earlier) was overwritten by the Linux btsync.

    Example3:

    On WinPC (folder syncs to Mac *and* to Linux)

    I change an existing textfile in Notepad++, save it, and btsync on WinPC syncs it to the Mac and Linux. Everything (seems to be) ok.

  5. If You Have Sync Issue

    Step 1. Turn on Debug Logging.

    Linux: create file debug.txt with contents of FFFF in the .sync folder. You can find the .sync folder in the same directory where the btsync binary is located.

    I don't have this folder. How do I enable debugging on a Synology NAS with btsync 1.1.48 ?

    It would be very useful to see the full path of a file in the logfile, so the user doesnt need to guess or to search, what file on what share might be the corresponding one.

    If the filename is not unique, it will be hard to guess, what file has problems.

    cheers,

  7. Error messages in sync.log - meaning??

    in Sync General Discussion

    I got similar Messages in the windows log of my btsync 1.1.48, which syncs with a linux system and a mac:

    [2013-08-20 20:56:17] Error: 20100102-133406-p1080098_btsync.jpg - Files missing from job. Please recheck.

    The File "20100102-133406-p1080098_btsync.jpg" is on my windows harddisk and I can open just as normal with explorer or any other program, i.e. xnview.

    The messages exist for days now and I reboot my Computer every day, so the file cannot be locked by some other process.

    (Actually, it is/was the image file, which I used for my avatar here on the forum, so it don't think, its locked anymore by i.e. firefox browser which uploaded the image...)

    Any ideas on HOW to get rid of those messages? and, furthermore, WHY they come up or how this can happen?

    Another thing would be, that it would be useful to see the whole path of the file, not just the filename. I'll put this on the wishlist :)

  8. How to set sync_trash_ttl on Linux btsync?

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Thank you for pointing this out to me!

    The generated configfile looks like the one, I found now, but I wasn't sure, because on the NAS there is also a binary settings.dat file.

    So for all synology Users, this is the default config file created by the SynoCommunity

    cat /volume1/@appstore/btsync/var/sync.conf

    {
    "device_name": "YOUR_SERVERNAME",
    "storage_path" : "/usr/local/btsync/var",
    "pid_file" : "/usr/local/btsync/var/syncapp.pid",
    "webui" :
    {
    "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",
    "login" : "admin",
    "password" : "YOUR_PASSWORD"
    }

  9. The log file gets a little too big

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Maybe, but I don't think so, because I don't belive, the OP and me are the only ones which sync the C:\users folder.

    There must be some setting which is wrong or causes the HUGE log files.

    (on the other hand, windows btsync overwrites files which I just changed on windows a minute ago with old copies from my local linux-server running the same btsync version. I regognize this since 2-3 months, but didnt had the time to check and read here in the forums...so who knows, whats broken...)

  12. How to convert a Full sync computer to Read-only sync?

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    This "seems" to not working here on 1.1.48 on linux.

    What I do:

    I log to the Webinterface, go to the full-access secret in the "advanced"-tab (via the gear-wheel) and change it to the read-only secret I copied from my Windows-PC (which is the same read only secret as shown in the advanced-tab on the webinterface) and pressed NEW, or just OK.

    After a click on OK and a while, sometimes a message like "cannot show advanced tab for read-only secrets" comes up, sometimes the folder preferences window just close.

    When I open the folder preferences again, I read the same secrets as before. nothing seems to have changed. I'd expected to read the read-only secret where I read the full-access secret before.

    I repeated the steps a few times, with no luck.

    Any ideas?

  13. The log file gets a little too big

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    unfortunately I don't have a solution, but the very same problem on Win7.

    My sync.log is about 12GB in Size and continues to grow and fills up the valuable SSD-harddrivespace.

    I've searched the forum for "sync.log" and got 4 pages with only this thread applicable.

    So if there is a way to limit the size of the btsync log, please tell us, obviously we're not able to find it.

    The size of the logfile on my MAC is 30.5K (~/Library/Application Support/BitTorrent Sync/sync.log)

    The size of the logfile on my Linux NAS is 13MB (/volume1/@appstore/btsync/var/sync.log)

    All the Computers are connected with btsync.

    EDIT:

    I checked the Log-File and found tons of those lines. With these new searchcriteria "FA_MODIFIED", "OnNotifyFileChange" and "SyncFolderNotify" I searched the forum, but only found this and some few not-helping thread...

    VERY unfortunately, the log-file is growing, even if I PAUSED the syncing via the windows-tray icon.

  19. Possible to Use only a Subfolder of a Synced Folder?

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Community,

    I came and write here, because I could'nt find any Information about my issue in the FAQs. If it is already covered in the forums, I sure was'nt able to find it. So please be kind with me :-)

    I'm btsync 1.1.48 on all my systems.

    I have a synced folder "million_images" with a lot of subfolders and many many images inside of the folders on my Linux server which is online all of the time.

    The origins of the folder "million_images" is on my Windows machine, which is not online all the time.

    On my Mac, I'd like to have a special subfolder "wallpapers" of the folder "million_images" to sync on my Mac only, so I can use those images for random wallpapers on the Mac, via System Preferences Settings.

    As I don't have many space on my Macs harddrive, I cannot sync the whole folder "million_images" which is way too big.

    Is it possible with btsync to just have a subfolder of a synced folder used?

    (I used Wuala a long time and there I had a linked "network folder drive" which I just could choose to have a folder used as a wallpaper folder from the Mac. Wuala only loaded the files needed by the Macs wallpaper process. Maybe there something similar possible with btsync? But this question is not that important...)

    Thank You!
