jeffgardentorrent Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I read up on this and turned off "Enable Debug Logging" and updated my BitTorrent Sync to the latest version. It must have been only one version behind previously. I did the update on both machines and turned off the logging on both machines as well. The syncing is working now but the log file on one of the computers is still 300gb (it's 3mb on the other). I obviously rebooted a couple times but I'm just wondering a. how long should it take or what needs to happen for that 300gb file to come down in sizeb. can i delete that file ? will it just recreate it and not get so large ? Thank you ! Edit: To clarify, this is on 2 Macs both running 10.8.5 and the sync.log i'm referring to is in the user Library and Application Support -> BitTorrent Sync Edited September 27, 2014 by jeffgardentorrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 What's the advanced "log_size" setting currently showing? - This setting controls how large (in MB) sync.log is allowed to get on that device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgardentorrent Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 It says 10 but I don't remember if I changed that or if it was always at 10Can I delete the file (or move it to an external drive just to have a backup of it) and let it create a new file ? So hopefully with the changes that one will stay under control and the sync won't be interrupted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 You should be able to. At worst you have to close sync down before you do and restart after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgardentorrent Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Ok great thank you. One last thing, is there any chance that since this file grew so large the Mac ran out of space, that it could have caused the other syncing Mac to delete some files/folders in one of the shared drives ? Like a glitch caused by not having space to write to the other Mac ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
