  2. Totally Confused On Using Ro Folders On One End With Only One User

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    After having to make some changes to my unRAID server I now have 2.0 folders on both ends of my syncing (Mac to unRAID). Currently I haven't opted for a PRO license since I only have 4 folders syncing, but thought I might have to in order to set RO. Even then, I'd only get a single user license.

     

    What I want to do:

     

    3 folders on Mac - set to RO (only changes on the Mac are used)

    1 folder on unRAID - set to RO (only changes on unRAID are used)

     

    Well, it would seem when I setup the 2 ends I now have the same user on each. This was probably due to my overall confusion of what the new apps were asking me. And speaking of that, if it's a PRO license for an individual, how many "users" can you have under it? Just one?

     

    So, if I'm thinking about this properly, if both ends are the same user name, do they have the same certificate or different since they were created on a different device? Reason I ask, if they're identical in every way than how can I change permissions on one end?? Does that still work?

     

    Whatever I do I'd really like to avoid both ends having to re-index everything. I have TB's on each side and that just woulnd't be cool to do now a 3rd time!

     

    So can somebody help me out here?

     

     

  3. Help With Changing From 1.4 To 2

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I don't get this new version at all. I tried to remove a folder marked with 1.4 in one location and re-add and all it did was re-add it as a 1.4 folder when I clicked the link icon on the empty folder. Then the damn thing started indexing again! It's already been indexed for crying out loud!

     

    So did I do this incorrectly? Do I need to disconnect both clients folders in order to get them in as 2.0 versions? And why does it have to re-index when it's already 100% indexed?


    WTF! I stopped the damn thing indexing on one folder and then removed it and the folder contents are completely hosed now on one end! Seriously, what the hell just happened. And no, I didn't select remove contents from folder when I removed it.

    How do I remove a folder from Sync safely and keep all contents so I can change over to 2????


    I really don't know that I like this new version. I tried to re-add back in the folder I had to remove because this thing up and removed my files and then it tried to re-add it on the other end as a different name (with a 1 after it) because the folder already existed. And it did this automatically.

    I already have folders setup that I want to change to 2 WITHOUT losing already existing content and I'd prefer without reindexing both ends again. How can I accomplish this on my remaining 2 folders that are 1.4 versions on both ends (only 2 computers in my setup).

    This is frustrating as all...

  4. One Folder Syncs, One Doesn't

    I don't have an answer for you, but I am having the same issue as you from time to time.  My Mac Mini sync's 3 folders with my unRaid server and I have one folder that just stops syncing at some point while the others are fine.  Usually a restart of Sync on my Mini is all that is needed to get it "seeing" the peer again.  Absolutely no idea why this is occurring though.

    acurcione,

     

    Do you see these errors in unRaid syslog? do xattrs stuck in Sync UI as well (as screened in your first post)? To be short: shfs (Share file system) does not support extended attributes on unRaid older than 5.0b10.

     

    Please collect full debug logs from both peers, and send them to syncapp@bittorrent.com. In the message, include the following details:

    1) link to this forum topic,

    2) which unRaid OS version you have. 

    3) how exactly you use iTunes on your setup: where is it running, where is it storing its db, etc

     

    Yes - those errors are in the unRaid log.  

     

    Not exactly sure what "stuck in Sync UI" means.  On my Mini where I have the client running it will continually try to sync up those files or at least that's what it looks like.

     

    I'm running the latest non-beta unRaid 5.0.5.

     

    As for iTunes, I don't even have it actually managing the files yet on the Mini.  I was in the process of combining me and my wife's libraries to the Mini which is my media server.  All I've done so far is copy all the files into a directory, but haven't actually added it to iTunes on it yet.  Maybe that has something to do with it, but I certainly don't understand why that would be.

     

    Once it is setup, the DB will be local.

     

    I'll turn on debug logging on the Mac client, but I don't see that option on the unRaid client.  I also don't see any logs anywhere for BTSync on unRaid.  Are you wanting me to give you a dump of the syslog when the problem is occurring?

     

    I'll have to setup a similar test like I did with a small subset of files to get this info for you.  I've since removed the folders from sync since it wasn't working properly anyway.

    Well that didn't work either.  I added those lines to the end of the .SyncIgnore files on both ends and as soon as I added the folder on my unRaid server it started spewing the errors in the logs:

     

    Jul 18 14:16:06 Tower shfs/user: shfs_setxattr: setxattr: com.apple.FinderInfo /mnt/disk2/Media/music/iTunes Media/Acoustic Alchemy/Back On The Case/08 Freeze Frame.mp3 (95) Operation not supported

    Do I have to completely delete all the files on the unRaid side and let it completely sync again?  For the 3rd time?

    I found a post in another thread talking about a script to add something the .SyncIgnore file, but this has had no affect on this issue for me.  I even added to the other end on unRaid and starting sharing the folder again.  Nothing but errors in the logs for the com.apple.FinderInfo files.

     

    http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/28597-bittorrent-sync-13/page-6#entry86437

     

    Do I need to wipe out all the files on one end and start the sync again for this to actually clear and work with all these damn errors??

    So I've been trying to backup a large combined iTunes library to an unRaid target and I'm having nothing but trouble trying to do so.  In every single file BTSync is trying to sync something called com.apple.FinderInfo and on the recieving end (unRaid) it's erroring out every time.  And it just keeps trying and trying and trying. 

     

    I have NO idea what the heck is going on with this.  I've been using this same method to keep my movies/TV files backed up for months now with no issues.  Can anyone give me an idea what the heck is going on?  Why is it trying to sync something that's inside the file wrapper????  I don't get it at all.

     

    See attached to see what I'm talking about.


    And this is the error on the other side of the connection (unRaid), not that this helps any:

     

    shfs_setxattr: setxattr: com.apple.FinderInfo /mnt/disk2/Media/music/iTunes Media/Rosana/Lunas Rotas/11 Descubriendote.mp3 (95) Operation not supported

  14. Upnp Isn't Actually Disabling - It's Still Mapping A Port On My Router

    in Sync General Discussion

    acurcione,

    BTSync also uses NAT-PMP to map ports, which is not disabled by the checkbox in preferences. I suspect that your router supports NAT-PMP and that's why is actually mapping ports.

    Yes it does and there doesn't seem to any way of disabling it without disabling UPNP outright. Oh well. As long as it's nothing nefarious, I'm ok with it.

    Great software, BTW!

    In relation to 54.225.92.50 and 54.225.100.8 are BitTorrent Sync tracker IPs

     

    For 54.22.92.50 have a look also at this thread. and for 54.225.100.8 have a look at this post.

     

    Thanks for that.  I had a feeling it might be for stats or something, but I couldn't find anything on it.  Maybe this should be added to the FAQ.

     

    And that also explains why the ports are still mapping since it has to have some way to communicate.  Again, should be added to the FAQ so folks know what to expect.

     

    Thanks again.

    I just found the FAQ about keeping all traffic on the LAN by disabling several settings.  However even with these settings off on both machines AND UPNP disabled, ports are still mapped.  And if that weren't bad enough, I see outbound connections on my router to god knows what originating from the ports used on both machines:

     

    udp   192.168.1.100:60668                      54.225.92.50:3000                        UNREPLIED  
    udp   192.168.1.100:60668                      54.225.100.8:3000                        UNREPLIED  
    udp   192.168.1.75:14524                       54.225.92.50:3000                        UNREPLIED  
    udp   192.168.1.75:14524                       54.225.100.8:3000                        UNREPLIED

     

    This is more than a little disconcerting.  Can anyone please elaborate on this and to why the apps are continuing to map ports?  Does it have to map ports even for LAN?  And what the heck is it trying to connect to here?

    I'm trying BTSync to sync on my local network between a NAS running unRAID and a Mac Mini.  In my initial tests everything worked fine.  Since I'm ONLY running this locally I figured I'd turn off UPNP on both ends since I don't think it's needed (unless I'm wrong).

     

    When I turned it off on my Mac the port mapping disappeared like it should on my router.  However after I disabled it on my NAS (which is a Linux derivative), not only does the port mapping still appear, it shows a new one every time I restart the service!  So the old mappings are there along with new ones.  I have no idea why it's still using UPNP when I've told it not to or why the old mappings aren't releasing.

     

    Ideas?
