Xaotikdesigns Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I've got a lot of files that appear to have bad time stamps. How do I fix this so they sync correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goli Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hey there.What are "bad time stamps"? Are they 0 (1.1.1970) or in another way "bad"?If you have one master machine that chould be used as an ultimate source, you could simply "touch" them to give them the current time. That isn't really valid, semanticaly, but it's working.But I don't understand what's the deal with those files. It shouldn't matter which exact time stamp is in place. Btsync should handle those files propperly and create them with the exact same modification time on the targets. Then they should stay in sync as long as a single machine changes its local copy. Then the modification time gets adjusted and the transfer starts.So: What's the exact sitaution you're trying to fix?Regards,Stephan.

Xaotikdesigns Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 It's in my sync history. "Skipping file whatever.jpg with bad timestamp". There are a bunch of files that it skips like this. I even tried to change the timestamps of files and was still getting the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiffarm Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Are all your machines time synchronized with respect to UTC? I have a machine that is out of sync by a couple of minutes and have not experienced an issue yet. Perhaps, maybe, a sync delay, which I can not confirm.I only ask as I want to know potential issues that I might encounter and really really want BTS to succeed.

Xaotikdesigns Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 The times are the same on all the computers.I also deleted every file on one PC and then tried to resync all the files back onto it.Still getting the same errors.
