@all readers - at the end of day @neser 's case was in the Synology firewall configuration. Thanks @neser for letting us know!

@ChickenBall Currently, Sync licenses by user only. So, if single laptop has multiple users logging in and out, Sync will run separate set of folders for each and require separate license for each. We are not as large as Microsoft to support wide number of licensing flavors. Although, if you are going to purchase many licenses and have a special use case you can always contact our sales to discuss other possible pricing model for your case.

You need to set password for user rslsync (sudo passwd rslsync, enter pass) and set default shell for the user (sudo vi /etc/passwd, then replace rslsync's "/sbin/nologin" with "/bin/bash"). After that you can login with the user. Though, the easiest is just to check permissions of the mount point of your network drive. As Sync is running from "rslsync" username, it'll automatically fall into either "group" or even worse - "all users" set of permissions. Alternatively, you can force Sync to start under your current user account (systemctl --user start resilio-sync, to auto-start when you login also run systemctl --user enable resilio-sync). It'll run under your current user (though will only start up when you login). Sync is multi-platform application. It follows the guidelines and practices for every OS it runs onto. For OS X it is copying image to Applications folder and running under current user account. For Linux that would be installation via packages under it's own user account. Initial versions of Sync for Linux has no package, just a binary to run. It was very simple for Linux novice users, although it was not a Linux way. We've got a number of accusing feedbacks from Linux adepts.

@norbert78 Migration process depends on the amount of files and data managed by Sync. In majority of cases it is rather fast and transparent, and in some cases it takes a while. How many files and folders do you have in Sync?

Dovydas, it's very unlikely to be a compatibility issue. Sync is using standard POSIX interface to file system to read/write files in any Linux, and DSM is not an exception here. There are a number of ways how any app can detect changes in file system, I strongly suspect as all the network access daemons and photo station are done by Synology, they got some integration to detect file changes and are not using standard. After manual re-index, Photo Station detects new files as it should

@Fondue The config.json you dropped has no any limitations: config.json { "storage_path" : "/var/lib/resilio-sync/", "pid_file" : "/var/run/resilio-sync/sync.pid", "agree_to_EULA": "yes", "webui" : { "listen" : "127.0.0.1:8888" } } So issue is not in config. But, one of the last outputs you show gives a hint that issue is in permissions: Let me elaborate. This output says that usually you run commands under "kodak" user, which indeed might have no any issues with permissions accessing your network share, whatever file sharing protocol you use. But, Sync is running under "rslsync" user which gets different set of permissions, including access of your mounted drive. If you switch your terminal user to rslsync, most likely you won't be able to access your share.

@Fondue While re-reading whole topic from scratch (I believe we are close to solution), I've stumbled upon strange thing: So, you've got an Ubuntu computer and you try to add folder that physically stays on NAS? Is it over NFS protocol or via some other protocol? Does your "rslsync" user has enough permission to access this folder over selected protocol? It's worth checking on how this network folder is mounted to your filesystem and which users has access to it.

@Fondue It looks like you've got some custom installation. By default, Sync picks up config from "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/ResilioSync/settings/sync.conf" path (thanks @Helen for providing correct path!). There is a very simple way to find out where your Sync instance takes config from. Ensure it is started, SSH to your NAS and run "ps aux | grep rslsync". It'll show you the command line of rslsync, and likely there should be a "--config" parameter, pointing to config file location.

@neser Seems there is an issue with forum attachments. Could you plz send logs to our "Contact support" form? For the netstat output - I can see that someone is listening to the 28888 port, but ideally you should run the command "netstat -anp | grep sync" to see if this is Sync indeed.

@Fondue Oh, okay. By some reason I was confident you got Synology NAS. Anyway, the both item #1 and #2 are still applicatble, but for #1 there are some other paths for WD: "directory_root" in config file only allows to save data in your downloads folder. You can adjust it by changing your config file which stays in "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/BitTorrentSync/settings/sync.conf"

@Fondue 2 possible reasons: 1. The folder you want to add is likely located outside of "/volume*" path (can be fixed by adjusting /usr/local/resiliosync/var/sync.conf, "dir_whitelist" value or by placing your folders inside your /volume1) 2. You don't have enough permissions for the folder you want to add. Very unlikely scenario, as Sync runs under admin on Syno, which is almost root.

@neser Well, that's what I want. Actually Sync IS running, though not responding. Next step would be: 1. To check with netstat which port Sync is listening 2. Send me sync.log to see what Sync is actually doing.

@hibrid0 You need to remove the folder from Sync and re-add it with RW key. Point to the same location. Sync won't re-sync files or send them to archive, only re-index.

@eldrin This is the license ID that you see in "License" window of your client. See sample screenshot.

@neser Could you please SSH to your NAS and do the following (with the "official version to ds213j"): 1. Check if sync is running (process name is rslsync) 2. If not, attempt to start it up manually with command /usr/local/resiliosync/bin/rslsync --config /usr/local/resiliosync/var/sync.conf and see what is the output?

@kircos it indicates that there are some connectivity issues to Resilio servers from your peer. Though, Relay is just an assistance for your Sync if it fails to establish a direct connection. So, this warning may not have any additional consequences for you.

@wido This package is not built by Resilio Inc. You should contact package maintainer to troubleshoot the issue.

@BobAchgill Sync wants to protect your existing folders, therefore it adds the number to the end to ensure you are not accidentally syncing your existing folder. Once adding a folder over link, you can explicitly specity the path of existing folder if you want.

@asins wndr4300 has MIPS CPU. MIPS is not supported and ARM binary won't run on MIPS CPU.

@p@t0r How did you apply? Could you please share the link and / or confirmation e-mail? (you can send it to me to PM)

@chuck4100 Sync removes files when other peers direct it to remove files. For example, if file gets removed in a folder on Android, Sync on this Android will order other peers to remove these files too. Files are removed permanently (not in Archive) in 2 cases: 1) files are too big (by default, only files lesser than 1000Mb are moved to Archive) 2) Archive is disabled for this folder. Any applies to your case? Also, could you please provide debug logs for your 2 PCs and the name(s) of file(s) that were removed so we can track it in debug logs and find out why it happens?

@coolrazor Should be working, though never tested 2-level deep nested folders in our lab. Couple more notes: 1. On computer where folders are shared all nested folders still MUST be RW and non-selective. Though, you can share RW or RO links to your other peer (user in your sample). 2. From Sync's POV these folders are totally separate and non-related, so it'll process all the files that are there 2 (or 3 in your second sample) times, keeping 2 (or 3) trees in memory, consuming appropriate amount of resources.

@BensTech Oh, got you. Both Resilio Sync and BTSync are compatible in terms of protocols. So you can upgrade one system at a time. Just ensure you are upgrading to the latest (now it is 2.4.1)

@geoffwea As I understand, you want Sync to run under current user, with no particular user creation for it? Is it correct?

@chuck4100 Could you please elaborate your setup? As I understand, you've got 3 mobile devices, including the phone that you'd like to backup. There are 1+directories you sync (or backup?) to your PC. What is the role of Titanium Backup here? How did you re-link the phone? Archive folders are only created on desktop computers, not on mobile devices due to limited space. So I suggest checking archive on your PC (also note, that by default .sync folder is hidden an you may require either navigate there directly or allow showing hidden folders in Explorer)
