  1. I just had the problem that I deleted a 150 MB file from this computer, on which it was initially also put in the shared folder, and it reappeared; it synced it back from the other peer. It should have propagated the delete.

     

    I had used that file before to do some experiments with kill -9 on btsync while it was running. I have been able to reproduce it twice.

     

    Btsync will have to be able to handle kill -9, because on Linux, that's how it will be shut down, since it's not a system service. And even then, computers can crash.

     

    Platform: both Linux 64 bit

    Version: 1.4

     

     

    Steps

    • Have a share on two peers. I added the write key of peer 1 to peer 2.
    • Put a large file in peer 1
    • While it is syncing and you see a partial !sync on peer 2, kill -9 btsync on peer 1.
    • Start it again.
    • Wait till it starts syncing (can be a while). You can also make another change on the folder, forcing a sync. Though, I don't know if that affects the result.
    • wait till the sync is complete.
    • Delete it from peer 1.
    • It will reappear on peer  1. This is wrong. It should have been deleted on peer 2.
