Bananabob Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I am syncing on 3 devices. One directory(Z) exists on device A. This is synced to device B. Device B then syncs a sub-directory (X) of directory Z with device C. This all works well. However, when I delete a sub-directory of directory X it reappears in a few minutes. The only way I have manged to delete anything is to pause the syncing of directory X and then delete the sub-directories from it on all 3 devices and resume the syncing on all 3 devices. Needless to say this is time consuming and annoying. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely one of the others has no permissions to delete its local copy and propagates it back. OR: device B gets confused about which share the deleted subfolder event belongs to. what permissions you share Z from A to B, and X from B to C?

Bananabob Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 It doesn't seem to matter which directory I delete from it always appears back again. I have checked all properties and all is ok. All sync properties are as Read & Write and all Linux file properties are 775. One more thing I should add is that the files in the directory do get deleted. So that when the directory is reinstated there are no files present, only sub directories.

Helen Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Can you please send the logs from all three peers to support, and indicate which subfolder and on which peer you delete. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananabob Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Where do I find the logs please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 See this instruction. Thank you. Don't forget to mention this forum topic when writing to support and don't forget to mention which subfolders and on which peer you delete. I'd rather you stop Sync, delete all the logs that you currently have on all peers, start Sync and reproduce the problem. So that fresh logs capture this problem solely. Thanks.

Bananabob Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks for these instructions. I paused syncing on all 3 devices --- but the log still has records being added to it as though the pause has been ignored. What next?

Helen Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Well, pause only stops bits transfer. but all other activity still goes on - files indexing, peers connecting, etc, and recorded into the logs.
