Bittorrent Sync Is Always Sync Again And Again

[zbigb69]

Hello,

i have some big folders to sync, more thn 500go.

 

When sync is complete, each time i restart computers, it resync everything and starting from 0.

It's faster than a first sync scan, but it's during hours or a couple of days.

right now i have for exemple on a folder more than 450go to sync, thats have been already sync.

Some others folders are ok, some not.

 

 

with sync on windows and mac, sync 1.3.106

Are you sure that it indeed transfers data, but not just indexes all files and after "thinking" a little bit just removes them from the queue? How many files do you have and how long this after-restart sync takes?

[zbigb69]

I don't think it's transfering data, maybe just "sync" indexes.

I have 5 folders to sync, 3 of them are ok. 2 of them are sync forever.

 

For exemple, yesterday night it was almost finished, and this mornig, after restarting computers, one is 500go (for 650go total) to sync with 80000(/90000 total) files, other 120go(/590go) to sync with 45000 files (/170000 files)

But it makes forever to sync

 

I noticed there were lots of com.apple.FinderInfo and com.apple.ResourceFork.

So i had theses rules in syncignore file.

 

com.apple.FinderInfo
com.apple.ResourceFork
*com.apple.FinderInfo
*com.apple.ResourceFork

 

But i can see these files sometimes.

Did you add ignores to all the peers?

 

Could you set log_size advanced preference to ~200, enable debug output and collect debug logs? Plz make sure that start indexing gets into the log prior collecting it. Send logs to syncapp@bittorrent.com, mention this forum topic in the message body.

[zbigb69]

Yes, i add rules on all computers in syncignore.

 

Thanks for answer, i will do that

Hello,

everything is ok now.

 

i contact support and they help me to fix it.

 

So they recommand to use Handle utility for Win or Process Monitor (the one i choose) to see wich files were using by some process.

 

there was a damage database files. so i re-added folders that didn't work, with new key.

 

i also add following in syncignore file, on all computer for each folders :

# Finder related filescom.apple.FinderInfocom.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTagscom.apple.metadata__kMDItemUserTags*com.apple.metadata__kMDItemUserTagscom.apple.ResourceForkcom.apple.metadata:kMDItemFinderCommentcom.apple.metadata:kMDItemStarRatingcom.apple.metadata:kMDItemOMUserTagTimecom.apple.metadata:kMDItemOMUserTagscom.apple.metadata:kMDItemOMUserTagTimecom.apple.*

 

now everything is ok !

 

Just one last question : can i turn log_size advanced preference to default ?

@zbigb69,

 

Yes, you can. Go to Advanced settings, highlight the necessary parameter (log_size in your case) and click "Reset" button. http://puu.sh/afg9X/942bf8b613.png
