C-Otto Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hi,I have a file "some.file" inside a synchronized directory that is updated in bursts (roughly once each second for seval seconds in a 5 minute period). In my log file I now find entries like these:[20130330 23:05:31] Failed read from file error = 9[20130330 23:05:31] File changed during hashingThese reappear every 10 minutes (stopped after restarting btsync).I assume that this problem is related to the single file described above (is there a way to get more debug output?). Worse, on another machine I get the messages "IO Error:2 line:390 align=-99 pos:-99 count:16384 actual:15360" and "ReadFile error: some.file:98304:16384:16384:3" every 10 minutes.Even worse I also get "Banned $ip:$port until forever" for the host uploading the file described above after four messages "*** some.file: PIECE 4 FAILED HASH CHECK".Thanks,Carsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yes, the cause of this is almost certainly the frequency at which your file is changing (i.e. it's changing faster than BitTorrent Sync can re-hash it).Once the "burst" of frequent changes subsides, BitTorrent Sync should then be able to re-hash it, but from what you describe, due to a high rate of failed hash attempts whilst the file has been changing, BitTorrent Sync (or rather the relay/tracker server) is "banning" your IP for what it see as "abuse"I know there have been plenty of requests in the wishlist thread for some form of "scheduled sync" to allow you to specify when/how often files should sync, which should be a suitable solution in your case if/when this is implementedIn the meantime, if you're only syncing files across local computers on your LAN, you could consider disable the relay/tracker options - this would at least prevent your IP from being "banned" from the BitTorrent Sync servers!

C-Otto Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 The file has a size of just 114 KByte, so I don't think the hashing takes long. Furthermore, I also see errors on the computer having the original file as described at the top of my original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsoa Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yes, the cause of this is almost certainly the frequency at which your file is changing (i.e. it's changing faster than BitTorrent Sync can re-hash it).Same problem here, with a file... that hasn't change for many day.BTW the file is 700 Mb large.

JimmyTheSaint Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 from what you describe, due to a high rate of failed hash attempts whilst the file has been changing, BitTorrent Sync (or rather the relay/tracker server) is "banning" your IP for what it see as "abuse"If an IP inadvertently gets banned, how do we get it un-banned?
