[Issue Syncing From Osx To Linux With 1.3.67]

@JAnguita

It is not a single issue we have in BTSync. Our developers are working hard on both fixing existing issues and developing new version of BTSync. We plan to add option to disable xattr sync in future.

 

Im curious about how you'll implement that option.

 

What i want to say is: I dont know what xattr's are, and i dont want to know what it is. I'm the user. Dont make me think. An option for it sound to me like a hotfix, but not a longterm solution. At some time i want to see my whole family and friends use this app. So when it leaves the beta-status it shoudlnt concern the user with such options.

 

How about detecting OS's in the network to automate this option. Or somehow detecting conspicuous behavior in the sync-process of metadata-files. ...just some ideas.

I updated my .SyncIgnore files on my linux machine, but NOT on my Macs. Seems to be working with 1.3.94 — the Macs (presumably?) share xattr with each other, the Linux box doesn't accept them.

 

Still a workaround, but perhaps a (slightly) better one, right?

what do you mean with "updated my .SyncIgnore". What exactly have you done?

I've added the following lines to my .SyncIgnore:

 

```

# Thease entries are based on this bug:

# http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/28625-issue-syncing-from-osx-to-linux-with-1367/

*.FinderInfo

*.ResourceFork

*.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags

```

 

This stops the sync-process but i dont now if this will break somthing.

I also tried 1.3.94. Nothing changed.
