pklausner Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Environment: Mac OSX Mavericks, btsync 1.3.106, Ubuntu LTS 12.04 btsync 1.3.106Sync: /Users/sophia/Documents -> /home/sophia/Documents,only the Mac side gets touched, Linux ist just a backup (for now).Symptoms: files in a Mac subdirectory *disappear* shortly after saving them;luckily they are still available from the .SyncArchive directory.They never showed up on the Linux destination.The logs on the Linux destination indicate a permission problem:[20140701 23:39:37.319] SyncFileEntry: failed to create folder /home/sophia/Documents/foo/bar - 13And indeed, the foo/bar destination belonged to root;this was left over from the first attempts with the raw btsync tar package. How can I make sure that a problem on the destination does not clobber my source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 @pklausner Tried to repro in my lab, no success. Just to make sure: your foo/bar has owner "root" and group&all other users has "read" access only. Right? Which app do you use to save the file?

pklausner Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) yes, foo/... looked like this:drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Apr 12 13:17 foo The apps in use were OpenOffice Writer & Impress.

RomanZ Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 @pklausner Thanks for the information. I still did not manage to reproduce issue in the lab. If you wish to help me debugging the issue - I'll need debug logs from both your Mac and Linux machine. If you are not willing to help debugging the issue - you may share a read-only key for backup purposes to your Linux to make sure it won't do any changes. And please pass my apologies to little Sophia. If the concept of beta-something is too complicated for her age - I guess you can explain something simple, like when you are making a brand new cake recipe, the first several cakes might be far from ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
