  1. Hi I am seeing this behavior too with 2.0, i have two NAS 100% synced and when i rename a folder and rename some of the files inside, Btsync is 100% transferring all the folder and its files again. The folders in the destination NAS and its files are moved into the .sync/Archive Log File in Destination NAS only shows Incoming Connection from xxxx or similar messages (disconnect,did not pick any blocks) Log File in Origin NAS shows Extension: ipv4:[x.x.x.x] for '/path_to_folder/file any help would appreciated
  2. I am doing exactly this to have my movie collection synced between 2 NAS without (big) issues. First i got the same file structure in both NAS, in your case, in both machines you need to have the same files and same directory structure (relative, no need to absolute). As i want to be able to define different paths for different folders/directories i have synced, i am NOT linking both devices together, but sharing the folder First you need to add all your files to btsync and make sure they are all properly indexed, in my case as we are talking about Terabytes it took several days (check the size and the progress columns) Once you have that, you share the folder between the machines, and you add the shared folder to the parent folder of the destination machine, where you already have the files, just like if you were going to overwrite it. You will be asked to verify your destination folder as there is information already there, and then the process will start of indexing the files you already have in your destination machine and compared to those in the source machine. It will take a while, so check progress and size on source and destination. Once you have same size on both sides, it is done. You can also check this is happening by monitoring cpu usage (high) and network usage (very low) as you are not transferring files between machines, just calculating hashes and comparing them. Do not make any modification to source or destination folders until initial sync finishes. in theory nothing should happen, but in my tests i had issues and had to restart the initial sync. Hope it helps.
