It should install into AppData\Local\ which does not require administrator privileges.) Failure. Once again, there's a sale going on, and I'd take advantage of it, but the upgrader is still broken, and I can't find any workarounds (or fixes) from Resilio.

I always just download the Windows build directly from the forum link and go from there. I suspect the reason it installs in that way is to allow access to the folders of other (non-admin) users so it can sync them too. Personally I run Sync as a service (protected by a pretty strong password) which avoids the permissions problem (my antivirus as the same privileges so running as SYSTEM doesn't bother me.)

The downloaded installer goes through the motions, starts Resilio Sync, and it's still the same old version (2.6.1). No error message displayed at all. Users don't have access to other users' Roaming folders, so I don't think that's it.

This is what happens when there are no experienced developers on a team. You just asked for a work around. For me, it was worth it to stop the bug where files fail to sync due to no peers being online (when there are several). That caused much more inconvenience than two reboots and 7+ minutes of time. I've lost any expectation that they will fix this error anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need the update, it's worth the hassle. I used SysInternals MoveFile utility to schedule the delete and rename to avoid having to boot into Safe Mode. I'm supremely lazy. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfelix Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 after almost one month i still haven't seen a clear answer for the issue of 2.6.2 on Synology nas. Is it safe to install the 2.6.2 package on Synology NAS or leave it as 2.6.1? I am using an old model of Synology nas which does not support docker. That's why I ask this question. Thanks.

You wouldn't want that performance hit unless you shared your NAS with people you don't trust. The patches are really for cloud machines. That's why you're seeing more patches default disabled so as not to critically hobble those not necessarily at risk of malicious exploits.

canina_pt Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Is anyone having issues syncing files over 2TB with the 2.6.2 linux-i386 version? Â Getting "WriteToDisk" (0) errors in all the files over 2GB and do not seem to overcome that. Edited December 20, 2018 by canina_pt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexC Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 @canina_pt It's a know issue in 32 bits builds of 2.6.2. Will be fixed in 2.6.3. In case anyone needs help with that, please contact support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeHoGo Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 With me version 2.6.2 is the first version that often crashes. It's only because of my snyced 'Downloads' folder on macOS 10.14.2 and happens mostly when Safari changes the temp file of a download to the final file. Not the worst thing but sometimes a little bit annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try adding the temp file ext to the IgnoreList and see if that helps. Then it shouldn't see the temp to final change, just when its the final file.

Egon Heuson Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hello all, I'm coming here to know if some other Synology NAS users have been facing to the same problem. My Resilio Sync packages stops spontaneously after a certain amount of time. I am using the 2.6.3-1 (downloaded from the Resilio website). Interestingly, the package manager says that the most recent version is the 2.6.2-1 (see screenshot) and that's why I am answering to this thread as people seemed to have troubles with the last versions. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the package (loosing the whole config as described earlier here...) but the problem is still there. And as I can't find any of the previous versions available to download, I can't try to downgrade. Any idea? Solution? Download link? Thank for your help! Have a lovely day!

xfelix Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I use Resilio Sync Synology pack on an old NAS. 2.6.3 has severe load issue which cause whole NAS extremely slow response. Very high CPU, Mem, and Disk usage. I downgraded to 2.6.2 but has 2G file transfer limit issue. So I have to stay on 2.6.1 by now. I have another Synology nas which can run Docker. No issue of 2.6.3 in container environment.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
