@NNois, @pattulus
I suggest checking which version of glibc library your NASes have. I suggest it is 2.3 - which does not support inotify and therefore Sync can't receive timely notifications from OS.
It's not even 2.3, Roman.
$/lib/libc.so.6 --versionGNU C Library stable release version 2.13, by Roland McGrath et al.Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR APARTICULAR PURPOSE.Compiled by GNU CC version 4.6.3.Compiled on a Linux 3.2.48 system on 2015-02-16.Available extensions: crypt add-on version 2.1 by Michael Glad and others Native POSIX Threads Library by Ulrich Drepper et al BIND-8.2.3-T5B
What version is needed?If this is the problem I see only one solution for users who don't want to tinker with their NAS:
Report this to Synology, so that they update their glibc library so that we have inotify support.
Link: https://myds.synology.com/support/support_form.php
I think it's also in the best interest of BitTorrent to ask Synology to perform an update. It's good for both products. By the… dear forum members, you should report it, too.

1, Cloud Station doesnt allow you to sync sub folders, it can only sync the main shares.
2, I didnt think you could connect more than 2 Synology devices together? (we have 3).
3, The BTSync protocol is far superior and faster than the Cloud Station
… and you can use it on more platforms, c.f. a server on a shared host.

Same here. It works, but I have to wait up to 10 minutes… which in a real-life scenario where you wish for an instant sync to send something live isn't a good experience.

Update: After some waiting the "failed" installation seem to work though.

I just tried this with my DS412+ (which uses cedarview (x64)) but my installation keeps on failing.
I'm worried that if I delete it and do a clean install, that I'm stuck with yet another device in my list (since one can remove old ones from the device itself – I already have one corpse from my server installation).
Synology Nas Isn't Working
in Sync for NAS (Network Attached Storage)

Right. 2.13 should be newer than 2.3. Thanks for the hint with version 2.5 starting to support inotify.
I have to look into what glibc version the Linux installation on my DS412+ currently has. From the linked page it looks like I'm on "x86 : 3.10.35 #5532".
I'm tempted to manually update, but I like how everything runs smoothly now. I like my NAS kind vanilla, for custom scripts and so on I have my shared host. So I might sit this one out and wait until Synology updates their Linux distribution.
I haven't really checked which glibc my the custom Linux version of Synology runs. I only did a quick "uname -a":
Anyway, I found an older discussion in the Germany Synology board from 2012 with 2 "solutions":
Solution 1 => chroot + install Debian
Solution 2 => compile a more recent version here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/
Needless to say that both are time-intensive and needlessly complex. I'm still in favor of contacting the support regularly. It worked for the Plex glibc update. It should work for Sync, too.
