joshuahab Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have just downloaded the latest version of Bittorrent Sync on Ubuntu via the apt archive. I added a folder and used as my secret a read-only secret from a friend's computer running on OS X. But he's not actually connected right now.The software started scanning my drive, which contains 1TB of data (my friend initially copied the files to this drive locally so we wouldn't have to push all 1TB over the Internet). I monitored the progress of indexing by watching the web UI and could see it making progress (the total size was growing). But it stopped making progress at 62.1GB in 452 files, whereas the directory actually has 971GB in 18284 files.Any idea what's going on? The logs don't have any useful data in them and the daemon itself appears to be idle.Thanks,Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swisstengu Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hello!About the same problem - I opened a ticket and have some contacts with BitTorrent team. Problem seems to be at sqlite level, some trailing locks or something like that.You can see this by enabling the debug mode, start it over - you'll stumble on SyncDB errors stating it's unable to complete the statement (i.e. cannot insert new content) - the DB is locked.Hopefully this will be corrected shortly.Cheers,C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergey@bt Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Database issues (if any) should not stop indexing. However indexing will be aborted if some error happens while enumerating files (e.g. if some folders are not accessible for Sync). If you enable debug log, you should see at what path it stops.

joshuahab Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hmm, it seems to have mysteriously unstuck itself.A couple questions though:1. I tried to enable debug logging but I couldn't follow the instructions at [0]. I couldn't find my .sync directory. The Ubuntu package has no binary called "btsync" (only btsync-daemon). The btsync-daemon binary is in /usr/lib/btsync, which has no .sync directory in it. I also couldn't find a .sync directory in /var/lib/btsync, which is where the log file and all data files are. How can I enable debug logging?2. How can I know that btsync is actually working if it can fail without signaling any kind of error? When indexing was stuck for me the UI indicated no error, and there were no errors in the (non-debug) logs in /var/lib/btsync/sync.log. I want to have confidence from here on out that the files are actually being synced correctly.Thanks,Josh[0] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markheckmann Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I experience the same issues with big folders. They seems to never get indexed completely. e.g. 11.300 of 11.800 files etc. This is a pitty as it makes the software not applicable for me. Are there any solutions or announcements concerning this issue yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamnuds Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I have the same issue.Windows 7 to Windows 7 across my home Wifi LAN.I was trying to transfer about 80GB but it stopped at 62GB or thereabouts.Cheers,Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericsit Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I have a folder >5TB with >1m files and indexing stops at 1000.8GB on 227715 files I was very excited with this when I did small tests but in order for it to work for me it must support large folders.
