Ok, here's my update finally: As mentioned above I did a complete sync of a folder from my laptop to an empty folder on the raspberry (ruling out problems of recognizing preseeded files). ------------------ On the laptop Windows XP folder information lists: 20370 files / 1690 folders BTSync Client recognizes: 20353 files so there are 17 missing even though everything in .SyncIgnore is commented out ------------------ On the raspberry "find -type f | wc -l" and "find -type d | wc -l" lists: 18496 files / folders 1586 folders Interestingly the btsync web interface on the raspberry lists yet another number: 18478 files ------------------ I tried to rule out issues of weird characters but a) files with characters such as "ß", "ö", "_" are transferred and b ) also synced fine in a small test folder. Even though there are no transfers taking place anymore the sync obviously is not finished: BTSync on laptop reports "U: 40GB", on the raspberry web interface "uparrow 37.2GB". I let it sit for a few days but no activity has taken place. So there seem to be a number of issues: a) btsync client does not recognize all files and does not report which ones are problematic b ) not all recognized files are synced c) syncing stops without any information about what's wrong I hope this information will be of use to anyone in nailing down the problem. Thanks for taking the time to look into this!

Ok, commenting the excluded files in .SyncIgnore caused BTSync to index a couple more files, though not all of them. I'm now syncing to an folder that was not seeded, so I can run a diff and find out the problematic files. I'll post my results.

Alright, thanks for those hints nils. Regarding point: 1. This should only apply if had set it up to ignore something, right? Meaning it should not be relevant in a setup where I did not tinker with any settings beyond specifying folders and pasting access keys? 2. What permissions does btsync need? Any recommendations for Win / Linux? 3. Any idea how to identify these? Does btsync log "problem" files somewhere? Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

Hi, I have the very same issue - Laptop has folder with 20100 files in it (out of those btsync recognizes only 19758, which is weird). This folder is mirrored via read-only secret to a raspberry. The raspberry lists only around 16000 files in its web interface, even though its preseeded directory contains more. Debug logging does not yield any information - Debug file contains only FFFF. The log itself also does not report anything unusual. I'd be happy to hear any suggestions how to handle this because otherwise btsync suits my needs perfectly. Thanks!
