Bitwise Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 There is a clear problem with the Date Synced field in v1.4.103. Some say a picture is worth a thousand words and that truth is self-evident: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommi Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hi, Found a weird error, the "date synced" column is quite a bit ahead, see the attached image. This instance runs on a beaglebone black, which loses the correct time after restart. NTP service is running and currently the system time is correct though (and has been as far as I can tell as long as btsync is installed). Maybe btsync starts before NTP and this messes things up? Seems not to affect sync, but still something to fix I suppose. Tommi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 @Bitwise, @tommiIt might indicate that certain folders contain files with incorrect modification time (in future). I suggest finding these files and fixing mtime as it can bring issues in future (they will overwrite any other files with same name on other peers as they are always "newer").

Bitwise Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 @RomanZ Thanks for the suggestion. I found two files with mtimes in the future. It appears that clockworkmod creates files with timestamps in the future. Can you explain a little more about why files with future mtimes will cause BTsync to exhibit this behavior? I archived both files, and now there are no files with future timestamps. BTsync did not adjust the dates in it's GUI. I restarted BTsync, but no effect. I rebooted, but still no effect. The BTsync GUI still appears as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 @BitwiseIt just chooses the most fresh file time from DB. And even if file is deleted - record about it is still stored in DB. So currently the only way to reset the "last synced time" I can think of is re-adding folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itrslin Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 does re-adding folder needs to delete .sync folder ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitwise Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 @RomanZI think what itrslin is asking is: does the .sync folder need to be deleted? That's a good question. Also, anything special to delete the sync for those folders and re-establish it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 @itrslin, @BitwiseNo, actually the date displayed is stored in database. The DB is automatically cleared when you "Disconnect" the folder and created from scratch when you add it. So - no need to delete .sync folder.
