Hi,
i was wondering why one of my server told me his 100 % rootfs. It is a very light installation of ubuntu server.
So i researched the reason and found Btsync as the bad guy. I have 2 other btsync installation and found the same symptom there.
The /var/lib/btsync is messing up the rootfs and i got more than 10g there! Why? That's not common in linux to mess up the rootfs with a small programm.
I found it on my raspberry as well. There was more than 2,4g antoher installation had 8,5g occupied space by BTsync.
So why there are such big db files saved in /var/lib/btsync? Why is there no clean up of them? the db are getting bigger and bigger and will break down any system in the future.
What is the workaround for that issue?

That's great!!! Thank you so much!

That would be a very good support by BT to upgrade the repo.

First of all please think about that Tuxpoldo did that for the community and within his free time. He does not have any commercial connection to Bittorrent. So i'm very thankfull to use his repo as i started with BTsync. Of course it would be nice to have the latest update but on the other hand i don't expect Tuxpoldo to update it frequently if i consider the background if his work.
On the other hand i'm asking me why Bittorrent does not do that job and release an official repo? They should be interested in it to support the community and taking care that everybody can update his BTsync on time.
So why not asking Bittorrent to create an repo to support us?

Please try to see what error is thrown when btsync is launched manually. First you have know under which user btsync runs (you have specified it when installing btsync). Then execute the following command:
sudo -u <USERNAME> /usr/lib/btsync-core/btsync-core --nodaemon --config /etc/btsync/debconf-default.conf
where <USERNAME> is the user under which btsync will run.
Hi tuxpoldo,
i get this:

Is the last entry "not enough free space on disk..." the main problem?
Seems lot's of things are different now with 2.0. With 1.4 i had not that problem even the SD card is almost full of the PI.
regards
Dirk
EDIT: yes it was the problem. My rootfs was 93% full. Now i cleaned it up and because of log files and with apt-get clean i could get more free space (73% full) actually. Now btsync is running!

I have updated my 2 btsync devices to 2.0.85. My Ubuntu 14.04 is running normally after the upgrade but my rasp having problems since the upgrade and btsync does not run anymore. Any idea how to fix it?

@Dersch
Okay, the output says that BTSync is not running and no one occupies its WebUI port. When issue happens, could you please try to stop your BTSync manually (killall btsync) and start it also manually not as service?
Hi Roman,
if i enter killall btsync i get the message no process found.
Can you give me some commands? I'm not that Linux pro. And many thanks for your help!

1. Don't remember exactly but it was the previous before 106.@Dersch
Some questions and things to check:
1. Which previous version you were using?
2. please execute next commands and supply me with their output:
ps -eo vsz,cmdnetstat -npt4
3. When you restart btsync - which command do you use? how do you know that it actually does not restart?4. Did you try to force-kill btsync (kill -9)?
Thanks!

@Dersch
Can you please explain why you have to reboot RPI? What happens if you do not reboot?
It hangs on. My Android APP does not connect as well as the btsync service of my server and the Webinterface does not reply. If i restart the btsync service via terminal it cant stop the service but starts it. But then nothing happens again. I habe to reboot the rasp. The btsync service in the rasp is the only one for 24/7 run. My other Linux storage Server with btsync will just be startet if i need it. So his services are always fresh started. I cant geht the reason why the btsync service on the rasp is unable to run 24/7 after the update.

Hi guys, i have a new issue since updating my Linux Sync to 106. I have a Linux Server with sync and a Raspberry with my nas mounted. The rasp has sync 24/7 running but the nas and the Server are not always on. Since 106 the sync instance on the rasp has to be rebooted once a day. I'm not sure what happened but its very anoying. With the old version oft sync it always worked very stable! How can i log it and what are exactly the changes of 106?
btsync is messing up rootfs

Yes, but already before it was too big. But with the new release it is not usefull anymore. So now i decided to delete btsync completely because it is not worthfull to stick to it in this condition. I will step back to older version or to completely another programm for syncing my backups between my servers.
I used btsync now for about 2 years but it's ressource need is bigger and bigger which is not good for background syncing.
