Does this off-time include the indexing by sync or is it considered "on" as soon as it is started? Furthermore, the instruction for log do not say a single thing about Android, and how to get debug logs from there, so considering that my (optional) third device is my Android Smartphone, which actually might be the culprit is a bit useless, I like to look into log files myself, but I haven't been able to find them yet.

I think I understand this partially, can you explain the first part a bit clearer, sync changes the ctime of files that are changed before it has started (and before it has finished indexing?) to the start time of sync? Secondly, this race, why is the time files are opened, closed and detected important? Can you give an example of this race (going wrong)? As soon as I get the chance (likely somewhere next week), I will give sync another try and keep a close watch on the logs. I would also like to see the logs of an Android device I would like to connect (though I ll start with 2 devices first) but I cannot find them in the place they are supposed to be with my file explorer (sidenote: the device is not rooted), the only way I can share it with you is through get help option (without letting me see it myself?), or is there an option to get it and post it here together with the relevant sections of the other three logs?

Virus scan should not write to files, hence not change change time (ctime) Which is what btsync relies on according to earlier messages on this board.

I haven't found a process that touches my files on the other device, currently there's even no processes running that are touching them (because I stopped btsync), normally there's only stuff like filebrowser and btsync listed after lsof. I am actually guessing that through some weird quirk btsync itself is been touching the files and interpreting that as an update. Or the programs I run that only read the files are registering "touches" somehow, but I do not know how to check that Otherwise I can't make any sense out of it since the modification times on the file are correct and clocks in sync. I defaulted back to rsync btw, on demand syncing without interface, but using sftp mount fast and secure .

I have the same problem, and it appears btsync is doing some weird stuff, it likes updating files that were read only, consider the section of my log files containing some weird stuff about an mp3 file (please don't judge my music taste ) that was only read (as in: played). http://pastebin.com/TF0Wpakv Apart from that, my files keep being rolled back, which is very annoying if you casually coding something, save and find everything working, come back later and everything you just did is gone and not working any more.... I never had these problems, since then these things changed: - updated to 2.0.128 - installed android app and connected it - changed /etc/fstab rules to make my user of my files, both sync folders are on ntfs partition, mounted with same options: /dev/sda5 /storage/2 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,uid=tom,gid=users 0 0 This issue is of course not workable, every time I start sync I run the risk ruining whatever I just made...

Yay, I think I fixed it, I changed the filenames to legal windows names and removed windows_names from /etc/fstab under ubuntu, just so they would be the same., so Basic solution: if you see the error messages from the first post on the "client" side, check your filenames and your /etc/fstab to see if the filenames are allowed, if not: fix (easiest way is to remove windows_names from /etc/fstab, remount/restart/reboot everything) Another of my own problems fixed by yours truly, making a habit out of it lately... Interesting error btw from the forum: Warning: Illegal string offset 'edit_topic' in /home/bittorre/public_html/btadmn/applications/forums/sources/classes/post/classPost.php on line 2239 Might want to check on that

hmm, apparantly I have two different issues here one: when I create an empty file on the arch machine, the stat looks like this: [tom@tomtop Tom]$ stat /storage/2/Tom/Documents/archnew.txt File: ‘/storage/2/Tom/Documents/archnew.txt’ Size: 2 Blocks: 1 IO Block: 4096 regular fileDevice: 805h/2053d Inode: 26674 Links: 1Access: (0777/-rwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)Access: 2014-08-23 15:57:02.885295000 +0200Modify: 2014-08-13 07:58:14.000000000 +0200Change: 2014-08-23 15:57:02.886273100 +0200 Birth: -noticing that the modify date is far before the access/change date which is strange and I think that is why btsync ignores it somehow after doing a touch it appears to be good again. second appears to be filenames. as soon as I change, copy or move a file named like this: /storage/data/Tom/Pictures/Foto's/2012-7-4 CatchUp Clubvolley/Selection/jpeg/2012-07-04_19:28:34.jpg to something like u.jpg, simply remove the :'s (2012-07-04_192834.jpg) in the same folder, it will sync without issues. Are these known bugs of bittorrent sync? I think I will need to touch and rename I my files don't I? Tom

Ok, i've got some fresh intelligence: I copied some dropbox folders into my storage as a backup, and I noticed they got synced right away. It seems that "older" files are synced, however newer ones are not (you can see the difference in time above). I figure this might be a permission problem, but I cannot see any permission differences. The timestamps seem valid so far, and I do not see the files in .SyncIgnore or in the log files, I still only see [20140821 16:12:03.274] TorrentFile: Failed to create empty suffix for file "/storage/data/Tom/Pictures/Foto's/2012-7-4 CatchUp Clubvolley/Selection/jpeg/2012-07-04_18:55:32.jpg" - 22[20140821 16:12:03.274] SyncFilesController: failed to load torrent for file "/storage/data/Tom/Pictures/Foto's/2012-7-4 CatchUp Clubvolley/Selection/jpeg/2012-07-04_18:55:32.jpg"like error messages on my ubuntu system. I even changed the configuration so to run the daemon as root:root as suggested here but that did not help. I must say, the two directories are mounted from a ntfs disk, on the arch machine as follows: /dev/sda5 /storage/2 ntfs-3g defaults 0 1and on the ubuntu machine as follow: UUID=1CBE01BE15476FCE /storage/data ntfs-3g defaults,windows_names,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0I am not sure if it has anything to do with it but who knows. I would like to check if all the permissions on the arch machine for the folder I am trying to sync are similar, as well as the timestamps are correct, but so far I can only do stats on singe files, if somebody knows a way to do this it would be nice to let me know . My arch logs show mostly this btw: [20140823 11:52:17.237] Incoming connection from 130.89.169.206:50567[20140823 11:52:45.173] Incoming connection from 130.89.169.206:40344[20140823 12:07:13.523] Incoming connection from 130.89.169.206:50567[20140823 12:07:13.580] Incoming connection from 130.89.169.206:50567[20140823 12:07:14.325] Incoming connection from 130.89.169.206:50567[20140823 12:07:14.326] Incoming connection from 130.89.169.206:50567[20140823 12:07:14.427] Extension: ipv4:[130.89.169.206] for '/storage/2/Tom/Documents/TextDocument.odt'[20140823 12:07:24.370] Incoming connection from 130.89.169.206:50567The TextDocument.odt is a file I created on the ubuntu machine which I then changed in arch. This changed got succesfully synced back to the ubuntu machine. However, I still cannot make new files on the arch machine that are synced to the ubuntu machine.

Ok, Today I had to reinstall ubuntu due to a stupid mistake. I deleted the folder I wanted to sync and installed btsync again. Basically everything was the same, it stopped at the same amount of files it did last time, and the log file on my ubuntu machine has the same kind of error messages (could not create empty suffix and failed to load torrent file). I checked the .syncignore which was empty for just a couple of files like thumbs.db and other OS stuff. I am now wondering if somehow either my creation dates are wrong or I have ownership issues of some kind. I also added a file on both systems with different names to see if after this sync run they will still sync, I'll update you on that. I still appreciate any suggestion of (stupid) things I might have overlooked or done wrong . //Edit: the new file I added on the ubuntu machine was synced to the arch machine, I changed it's name which got synced back to my ubuntu machine, howerver I haven't seen the new file I created on the arch machine yet... //edit two: still no other file on my machine, I did a stat of two folders, of which the first did not sync and the second did: [tom@tomtop Tom]$ stat Pictures/Foto\'s/2014-5-18\ TC\ SG\ Motor\ experimenten/ File: ‘Pictures/Foto's/2014-5-18 TC SG Motor experimenten/’ Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directoryDevice: 805h/2053d Inode: 754824 Links: 1Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)Access: 2014-05-20 20:45:04.308616700 +0200Modify: 2014-05-20 20:43:28.660261000 +0200Change: 2014-05-20 20:43:28.660261000 +0200 Birth: -[tom@tomtop Tom]$ stat Pictures/Foto\'s/2012-7-1\ Hybrid\ Worlds\ Installation/ File: ‘Pictures/Foto's/2012-7-1 Hybrid Worlds Installation/’ Size: 8192 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 directoryDevice: 805h/2053d Inode: 118059 Links: 1Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)Access: 2012-07-03 17:20:26.769215000 +0200Modify: 2012-07-03 17:20:24.509345000 +0200Change: 2012-07-03 17:20:24.509345000 +0200 Birth: -It looks like the entire directory structure synced, but not all the files inside.

Yes there is plenty .

Hello All, I found btsync to be the app I am looking for to sync my desktop data with my laptop, I am running into a problem however. I run two systems, one is arch 64 on a large asus laptop which I use as my desktop. The other system is ubuntu x64 14.04. Both are newest versions. The installation guides I followed, configs and logs will be posted below, I will first define the problem. After installing btsync everything worked quit well, so I left the two devices on overnight to be able to sync all the 222Gbs of data. Waking up in the morning I found that both machines were still on, the webinterface of btsync was responding but the syncing had stopped at 118.92 GBs, allthough there should be 222GBs in there. I restarted everything, but no luck. Took a look at the logs and come upon repeating error messages on both machines. On arch I see messages similar like these: [20140821 15:48:01.084] Incoming connection from 130.89.170.174:7331[20140821 15:52:03.523] NAT-PMP: Unable to map port with NAT-PMP.[20140821 15:52:20.516] UPnP: Device error "http://130.89.161.149:32469/DeviceDescription.xml": (110) offline (timed out)[20140821 15:52:25.768] UPnP: Device error "http://130.89.166.244:42725": (-2) 130.89.170.174 is my laptop device in this case, I set it to port 7331 On Ubuntu I find them similar like these: [20140821 16:12:03.274] TorrentFile: Failed to create empty suffix for file "/storage/data/Tom/Pictures/Foto's/2012-7-4 CatchUp Clubvolley/Selection/jpeg/2012-07-04_18:55:32.jpg" - 22[20140821 16:12:03.274] SyncFilesController: failed to load torrent for file "/storage/data/Tom/Pictures/Foto's/2012-7-4 CatchUp Clubvolley/Selection/jpeg/2012-07-04_18:55:32.jpg" config files and logs are found on http://dump.tomzooi.com/sync/ I followed this ubuntu guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-bittorrent-sync-to-synchronize-directories-in-ubuntu-12-04 And this guide on ARCH: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BitTorrent_Sync to install btsync. Hope anybody can help .
