Kinda syncing on crutches

Problem: Sync from my linux box to freebsd is almost instant

Sync the from freebsd to linux only happens when a "periodic check" happens according to

the logs. So for instance I put a file on the freebsd box at 00:17:00 and it doesn't show up on

the other box until 00:20:00. When the following shows up in the logs:

Logs:

SyncFilesController: started periodic scan

Setup:

I have a Linux box with the webUi on.

It's setup with all the options unchecked accept delete files to .SyncTrash.

The folder is connected to 10.0.0.24:1200

I have a freebsd box running with the following config:

{

"device_name": "hostname"

,"listening_port" : 1200

,"storage_path" : "/opt/btSync/.sync"

,"check_for_updates" : false

,"use_upnp" : false

,"download_limit" : 0

,"upload_limit" : 0

,"shared_folders" :

[

{

"secret" : "the same secret i coppied out of the web ui"

,"dir" : "/Rhodes"

,"use_relay_server" : false

,"use_tracker" : false

,"use_dht" : false

,"search_lan" : false

,"use_sync_trash" : true

,"known_hosts" :

[

"10.0.0.22:1200"

]

}

]

}

I believe that you are currently stuck with 10 minute updates for your build, so 3 minutes is well within that period.

Thanks for responding affinity!

Is that only applicable to the freebsd build ? That would explain why its one sided.

I think better to read this thread, particularly the last post -- not sure if things have changed, but read the thread.

[gr0undzer0]

I read the thread and it seems like there is NOT supposed to be a time interval between syncs. Can anyone point to an article that says otherwise for freebsd? I 've looked and not seen one.

[affinity]

I was sure that I had seen it, at least for freebsd, but I'm not going to search for it now -- besides, it might be outdated information now with program updates changing things.

[gr0undzer0]

Fair enough I couldn't find it anywhere either.

You may have gotten the 10 minute thing from :

How soon does synchronization start?

When a file is added to the shared folder, the changes start syncing immediately (due to system peculiarities, sync on Mac OS X 10.6 may be delayed up to 10 minutes). If you change a file inside a shared folder, sync will start after the file is saved and/or closed.

Could OSx be that close to freebsd?
