BTSync only syncing with active ssh connection (ArchLinux)
I have setup some shares in BTSync 2.x & everything is syncing fine & i can connect via the web ui.Once i disconnect ssh from the linux box hosting the shares, the sync stops, also the web ui stops working.I have the same setup working fine on Openelec.I âm using upnp on all nodes & upnp is enabled on my router. i have tried specifying a listening port & forwarding it on the router, this has no affect. I have also tried deactivating the firewall on the router also with no affectHere is my btsync.conf{ "device_name": "My Sync Device", "listening_port" : 0, // 0 - randomize port/* storage_path dir contains auxilliary app files if no storage_path field: .sync dir created in the directory where binary is located. otherwise user-defined directory will be used */ "storage_path" : "/home/drew/.btsync",/* set location of pid file */ "pid_file" : "/home/drew/.btsync/btsync.pid",/* use UPnP for port mapping */ "use_upnp" : true,/* limits in kB/s. 0 - no limit */ "download_limit" : 0, "upload_limit" : 0,/* proxy configuration */// "proxy_type" : "socks4", // Valid types: "socks4", "socks5", "http_connect".

I would also like to know the answer to this.

I have been pulling my hair out with many errors like this since upgrading 2.0 for me anyway is a complete nightmare, very poor show.
Anyway i sorted my dreaded "storagepatherror101" by deleting the hidden .sync folders left over from 1.4.
Every time you create a sync, a hidden .sync directory is created at the root of the sync, you need to remove these.
I then for good measure reboot all nodes.(makes sure to try the reboot, this got me a few times)
Not sure if this is best practice, I always remove the .sync files before i try to recreate a share with a previously used location.
(The .sync directories are created at all nodes)

Had the same problem, can't remember exactly what i did & its difficult now to recreate without re-uninstalling.
If i remember right, you need to open Activity Monitor.
Select the option "Memory" from the top menu.
Then type into the search bar sync.
I then force quit "Sync Finder Extension" & "CMFSyncAgent". (to force quit select the top right button with the X symbol)

p.s. quit btsync first...
If Anybody’S Listening... 2.0 Is Broken!

Spent the last 3 days trying to get all my devices synced up with no results, there are
just so many errors,
600+GB folders wiped then re-synced & on an on it go’s.
I understand the need to monetise, like most software company's start off
free to get public recognition & a following not to mention the bug finding & testing,
then when the software starts to get stable some sort of pay for tier is added.
But I have never known functionality be removed, (i.e. 10 folder limit) breaking people's
workflows / folder structures & causing me & i am sure many other people significant disruption.
This seems no way to treat a loyal user-base that is at least equal parts responsible for where this
product is today.
All this is from a company we are to trust with our data?
I won't go on about the crazy over pricing & subscription model except to
say at this point I would pay $40 to have someone remove this broken 2.0
off all my devices.
My intentions now are to set about downgrading all my devices to 1.4
in the short term & start looking at the alternatives out there with a view to jumping ship.
Such a shame, I really did love btsync 1.4 & converted many people to it.
My thanks to btsync for creating a great sync solution, i enjoyed it whilst
it lasted.
