chris@dubea.org Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hi all, I've got a machine that I dual boot Windows and Linux on. The machine has an OS drive, and a separate data drive. I've set RS up on both OS' syncing the same folders on the data drive to my NAS box. I set the Windows machine up first and then set the Linux one. The Linux OS sync's perfectly, but the Windows installation is telling me that the Service Files are Missing on the three folders I want to synchronize. Is there a way to set each of the RS instantiations up to sync the data folders? Thanks chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltopo Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Are you saying that you use RSL for Windows and RSL for Linux to sync the same folders? If so, don't do this. Linux uses / for path while Wndows uses \. Most likely they need different settings.dat to find the storage path, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris@dubea.org Posted July 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 I've got one machine with two drives. The first drive is for the two OS'. The second drive is the data drive. I use the data drive with apps in each OS, occasionally the same app, KiCAD for instance. I would like to sync them back to my NAS with RSL on it independent of the OS. Is this not possible?

eltopo Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Just pick one: RSL for Windows, or RSL for Linux, not both. Boot to Linux to sync if you pick RSL for Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I have a similar question - one computer - two bootable operating systems, both WIndows (7 Ultimate & 10 Home or Professional). The folders I want to sync are on a different physical drive accessible by both OSs but obviously I can't run both OSs at the same time. Can I use the same folder with the same service files so I don't have to duplicate contents? (there's a LOT in the folders...) I presumed it'd act as if it's the same 'identity' but I need to experiment. Today I attempted without matching the ID but got the below. I can't remember the ID of the other OS and it's currently dead. I'm trying to use a temp OS install on a bootable USB drive to just get the syncing running again as I'm heavily reliant on it and don't want to have to go through the process of reconfiguring all my various other computers and phone if I can simply 'adopt' the existing share instead - I have a lot of shares originating from this computer - some were advanced shares and some are read-only on other devices. Of course the ones that are 'standard' shares with read/write I can simply get the share key from another device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
