Location Advanced Config File Raspberry Pi

[aapman88]

Hi, I have installed btsync on my raspberrypi running debain wheezy and would like to tune down the folder rescan interval. I have found in the documentation that I need to do this en the btsync.config, however I cannot find this file on my raspberry.

 

Can someone help me find this file.

And are their other settings to decrease the performance?

 

Thanks

Try /home/pi/.config/btsync/btsync.conf

 

You can also generate a sample config file by running sync with the "--dump-sample-config" paramter.

 

In relation to "decreasing performance" - do you mean decreasing performance of Sync/increasing performance of your system, or increasing the performance of Sync/decreasing the performance of your system?

 

Either way, here are some of the key advanced settings which can affect performance of Sync/your system:

disk_low_priority - set to "true" will concede resources to other applications accessing storage

lan_encrypt_data - setting this to "true" can increase CPU load

folder_rescan_interval - setting this too low will increase the rate of storage access and which can in turn reduce performance of your system

recv_buf_size/send_buf_size - the higher these values, the more memory will be consumed by Sync

 

Also, if you're syncing folders with using encrypted keys, this can also increase the CPU usage of Sync.

I do not have the .config/btsync folder or at least i m not able to cd into it.

Not sure how to run sync with the --config or --dump-sample-config command either.

 

I m able to stop btsync by the follwoing command

sudo service btsync stop

But the command suggested in the help folder does not do anything [./btsync ]

I m a bit confused.

when btsync is of i get the following response from the status command

sudo service btsync status
[ ok ] BTSYNC 'debconf-default' is running.

 

So I gues i m first need to create the new config file but i m clueless how.

some extra information:

 

I used this guide to install btsync: https://melgrubb.wordpress.com/2014/08/03/raspberry-pi-home-server-part-14-bittorrent-sync/

 

to stop

sudo service btsync stop

to make an config file I tried

sudo service btsync start --dump-sample-config

but this gives me an error message that this command does not exist

 

If i run the below command I guess I should also get the config....

find / -name "btsync"/usr/lib/btsync/usr/share/btsync/usr/share/doc/btsync/etc/btsync/etc/default/btsync/etc/init.d/btsync

I get a lot more but they all report permission denied

I triend all folders in combination with ./btsync command to start the application however this does not work

Closest is when i go to /etc/default/ and try ./btsync it returns permission denied

 

I m quit a noob with this but I would like to learn.

Can someone give me some pointers?

Thanks

 

What I in the end want to obtain is that my USB HD does not stay on all the time.
