Lukastt Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hello, I just started using btsync and it works fine. But I always need to restart the client so start the synchronisation.Is this a known problem? Does anyone know how i can fix this? ThanksLukas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Synchronization is real time on all platforms other than Mac.On Mac, synchronization happens on 10 minute cycles. If your files are locked open by a program, they will be unable to be synched. Restarting of the sync client should not be needed to get it to work.

Lukastt Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi, I'm using Linux-Clients.Additional I use encfs/boxcrypter, but I dont think that is the problem, because if i add an unencrypted folder the problem still exists. Any idea? Lukas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi Lukastt, BTSync uses 2 mechanisms to detect new files in sync folders:1) system notifications. Very fast technique, but it is not fully reliable and hardly depends on OS notification mechanism. To a make sure that all changes are detected, there is a second way:2) full folder rescan every 10 minutes (configurable) I suspect that BTSync does not receive OS notifications by some reason. Could you please check if your folders start syncing automatically within 10 minutes after you change something or you still need to restart?

Hi, it seems to sync every 15 mins.How can I check/solve the problem with the os notifications?I'm using 64bit. Lukas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Lukas, Could you please share details of your OS and environment? Full version, security software (also with versions) if any, disk encryption utilities with versions (if any). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full version, security software (also with versions) if any, disk encryption utilities with versions (if any). Hi, it's a Debian Wheezy (uname -a -> Linux machine_a 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux).Latest Updates are installed.No extra security-software, No disk encryption.

RomanZ Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Wheezy is using glibc 2.13 or newer, so it definitely supports notifications. Only one thing I can think of is that your sync folders has excessive amount of files and OS ran out of inodes Could you please run the following command from command line and copy-paste me an output?df -hTi Thanks!

The files are owned by the Users, btsync runs an root. Could that be a problem? Lukas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Lukas, no, it should not be a problem. If there would be owner / permissions issue, the files would never be synced, while they are synced only after full folder rescan. Could you please collect full debug log on the affected peer? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukastt Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi, sorry but I dont really want to post this log because there is a lot of personal data.I created a log but cant find anything that sounds critical.It starts syncing every 10mins with the well knows lines in the log:incoming connection from...Piece x completeblocking peer temporarily nothing about problems with the filesystem. btw: where can i configure the sync every x mins? Lukasis it possible that the 64 bit OS is the problem? i never had problems von 32bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Lukas, It is hard to identify what is happening without a log. I still suspect that you are out of notify objects. Could you do another simple thing in your Linux: try viewing some log with "tail" command and see if it succeeds or fails. Full folder rescan can be configured to happen more often, but it is going to cause extensive disk usage (read), see Preferences, Advanced, folder_rescan_interval. 64 bit OS should not be an issue, inotify should get working well.

Lukastt Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi, seems to work fine on 32bit Lukas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 what about tail on non-working x64 OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
