A quit search of the forums did not turn up this issue, which is surprising as I've had it happen to my files frequently in the last 6 months or so. Specifically, it appends what appears to be logging information to files at random. An example can be found below. The first part is the real file (a rpm package spec file), but after the %doc line, random garbage appears. This corruption is generated on the host on which the file is altered, and propagates to every other host. <snip> rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir}/*.la %cleanrm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files%defattr(-, root, root)%{_libdir}/*.so.* %files devel%defattr(-, root, root)%{_libdir}/*.so%{_includedir}/meos++/*%doc %{_docdir}/%{name} [20150730 11:30:14.411] SyncFolderNotify: SyncFolderNotify: "0EAD2A2BDFBBDC5EE30141C3051CC4811CE3652C.SyncTemp", event = "IN_MODIFY"[20150730 11:30:14.411] [OnNotifyFileChange] "/home/nilss/work/HEAD/packages/.sync/0EAD2A2BDFBBDC5EE30141C3051CC4811CE3652C.SyncTemp"[20150730 11:30:14.411] SyncFolderNotify: SyncFolderNotify: "0EAD2A2BDFBBDC5EE30141C3051CC4811CE3652C.SyncTemp", event = "IN_MODIFY"[20150730 11:30:14.411] [OnNotifyFileChange] "/home/nilss/work/HEAD/packages/.sync/0EAD2A2BDFBBDC5EE30141C3051CC4811CE3652C.SyncTemp"[20150730 11:30:14.411] SyncFolderNotify: SyncFolderNotify: "0EAD2A2BDFBBDC5EE30141C3051CC4811CE3652C.SyncTemp", event = "IN_MODIFY"[20150730 11:30:14.411] [OnNotifyFileChange] "/home/nilss/work/HEAD/packages/.sync/0EAD2A2BDFBBDC5EE30141C3051CC4811CE3652C.SyncTemp"[20150730 11:30:14.411] SyncFolderNotify: SyncFolderNotify: "0EAD2A2BDFBBDC5EE30141C3051CC4811CE3652C.SyncTemp", event = "IN_MODIFY"[20150730 11:30:14.411] [OnNotifyFileChange] "/home/nilss/work/HEAD/packages/.sync/0EAD2A2BDFBBDC5EE30141C3051CC4811CE3652C.SyncTemp" <snip> BTW, do you really trigger a sync on IN_MODIFY and not IN_CLOSE_WRITE? That seems exessive... Can someone move this? It seems I've posted it on the wrong part of this forum.
