BUG: Rename a directory between shares

Recommended Posts

I have setup two shares on a Linux i386 machine in directories /home/btsync/data.000 and /home/btsync/data

On another i386 machine in one of the shares I created a directory and populated it with cats.

(for directory /home/btsync/data )

After the transfer completes I move the directory from /home/btsync/data.000/cats to /home/btsync/data/cats ... chaos ensues.

Once It settles down I turn on the logging and try to work out what happened.

There seems to be some confusion because I'm moving the data between two shares and it's assuming that if the directory is move from a share to a share it must be in the same share. So I'm getting a '000' directory created in the /home/btsync/data share because it chopped the wrong bit off the front.

I've saved the whole log file if you need it, but here's what I think is the significant bit ...

Off the top of my head, I wonder if it's the ".000" in the folder name that's confusing BitTorrent Sync? i.e. BitTorrent Sync is seeing that as a file extension, rather than a directory name?

Do you get the same behavior if you rename the directory without the period/point character in it? i.e. "data" -> "data000"

How about this one ...

Yup as predicted; they're chopping off the wrong share prefix (plus the slash that isn't there of course)

Don't try this one ...

Bye bye whole share; even .SynchTrash is moved into the Trash, but there seems to be no serious security problem BTSync did not do an "rm -rf /" ... :D

However, the remote did accept an instruction to delete the entire share including the .Sync* files ... that's not right.
