how to remove users which are disconnected and not syncing anymore

[wba]

Dear reader

When I was setting up resilio Pro, I had to set up several peers. About half of the peers are not in use anymore and are disabled. But how can I remove them from the Peer list and not have them listed with Permissions Disconnected?

Thank you for your help.

I think in the power user preference, the last item named "peer_expiration_days" is used for that. You can somehow fill shorter days like 2 or 3. Just for my own thinking.

@ Yi Wang: Thank you for your comment.

 

I checked in the power-user-preference list, where for peer_expiration_days is listed: "Number of days to pass before a peer is removed from the peer list".

Out of that explanation, it is not clear to me, which kind of property a peer has to have to actually get removed from the peer list, since the peers which are offline and disconnected are listed in the Peer list for way over 7 days.

I just found the following thread in the forum, which might solve my issue:

I will try it out later.

Setting the

Quote

peer_expiration_days=0

doesn't remove the DISCONNECTED USERS from the Peer List even though the column status says there are no Peers connected. Does the server really need to be completely rebooted to clear the DISCONNECTED USERS from the Peer List?

 The peers are gone (see 0 of 0 peers column), but the identity indeed remains in the list cause once the identity was granted access to the share, and theoretically a new device may get linked to that identity and get access to the share. You can disconnect the identity - it's available only for Pro version for Advanced shares, click on Permissions for that identity (read and write)  -> Disconnect.

Yes, I've done that plus reduce the "days" in peer lease expiration but those whom were disconnected are still in the peer list flagged as "Disconnected". They will not be removed unless reboot the whole server.
