Another strange behaviour I’ve got here, set up DCIM folder sync from Android 10 device with a whole bunch of files. It made a full sync up to date, but now I’ve got out of sync state on receiver with 6 pics. Checked the receiver and all 6 of them are there. Stopping/restarting won’t help on ether side.
Here are some screenshots taken on sender.

Not sure where to put that, feature or support, but I definitely need some help at least to understand how this works, because it doesn’t meet my expectations. So I’ve set up new folder on local (send-only) and remote (receive-only), did a full sync. Then I added ignore patterns on local, so that reduced folder local state count. But global state count remained the same so the change is not propagated to remote. Is it correct behaviour?

Forgive me for being a noob. I cannot wait till github codespaces save us all the pain of installing software.
I have built the application on mac os as specified here https://docs.syncthing.net/dev/building.html#building. However, it seems like there is a step that goes unmentioned: how do I run the built version. In the following entry, it seems to say something like use syncthing command to do X. I am not sure if it means the build failed, but their is still syncthing command recognized on my macs zshell. After you “go run build.go”, how do you run the developmental version and/or install syncthing command.

Hi,
I try to get file info from /rest/db/file with this: http://127.0.0.1:8586/rest/db/file?folder=hitys-qk7th&file=data.txt
data.txt is at the root of the folder, but I always get an error 404. I try with some other folder and file, always the same 
I use v1.7.1
I’ve tried completion of a folder, ping, ect… everything works fine
thanks

I’m trying to use syncthing as a docker in unraid to do 2 way sync to my Onedrive account which is mounted via rclone.
It’s finding the folder fine, and loading some .tmp files in there (upto a few 100kb), but then throwing up sync errors (both illegal seek & operation not permitted).
An example of the errors:
2020-07-19 21:36:57 Puller (folder “5870” (5870), item “DSC_3452.JPG”): truncate /onedrive/pictures/.syncthing.DSC_3452.JPG.tmp: operation not permitted 2020-07-19 21:37:00 Puller (folder “5870” (5870), item “DSC_3453.JPG”): save: write /onedrive/pictures/.syncthing.DSC_3453.JPG.tmp: illegal seek
I’ve tried a load of different rclone configs e.g. changing the uid to match the syncthing docker uid etc but I continue to get the same errors. I’ve tried with & without “ignore permissions” set, with no difference. I can access & write to the rclone mount in other dockers fine.
Due to what I’ve tried, I’m thinking this is an issue on the syncthing side, rather than rclone (as the mount works otherwise).
Any thoughts/ideas on how to resolve?

Hi all
I don’t know where to post.
The syncthing’s Device Rate limits are wrong. In the menu it says KiB/s but it’s actually 10 times more. So I limited my sending/incoming rate to 5120 KiB/s. (In the Main Menu it says 5MiB/s, that would be correct 50Megabit/s or ~6MB / s.) But 5120KiB/s in google says 5Mbit/s on one page and 50Mbit/s on another page. https://lmgtfy.com/?q=KiB%2Fs
So this is VERY confusing. please use the same measurement everywhere in the GUI or use Megabit/s oder Megabyte/s. So every programmer and user can relate, noone I know uses MiB/s or KiB/s.
Or at least make it changeable in the options so everyone can use what they are familiar with. thanks
btw. Very Nice tool.

syncthing appears to be running fine and the UI shows no issues. However I notice journalctl on my arch linux box has lots of “protocol error” entries coming from syncthing such as
Jul 19 12:03:53 dp syncthing[477]: [JC6TU] INFO: Got peer certificate list of length 0 != 1 from peer at 192.168.2.131:22000-50.116.7.184:59014/tcp-server/TLS1.2-TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384; protocol error
Jul 19 14:47:51 dp syncthing[477]: [JC6TU] INFO: Got peer certificate list of length 0 != 1 from peer at 192.168.2.131:22000-66.228.47.66:44990/tcp-server/TLS1.3-TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256; protocol error
From the forum I saw a bug back in v1.4 with such errors and that the issue may continue until files get updated. Is this anything to be concerned about and any way to resolve? Thanks in advance.
I’m running v.1.7.0 on all nodes (3 nodes) and all are on Arch linux with 5.7 kernel. Happy to send logs if needed.

I am syncing a file between an app that generates files and other witch consume these files, the thing is the first app takes about 10 seconds generating the file, but at the first second it puts the file in the folder, syncthing syncs the file immediately and the second app consume the file as soon as it receives, but it creates a problem because, the second app starts to consume the file, but it has not finished, is there a way, to say to syncthing to wait about 15 seconds as soon as it detect a new file?
Thanks for your help. Regards!

We do manual testing mainly. However, manual testing is also inefficient for manpower and time. And if we want to test using a tool like GUITAR, it can take a long time to modify the script, so it is a concern.

Hi,
Here: https://docs.syncthing.net/events/remoteindexupdated.html what the meaning of “index” that mean folder? file? both?
I’d like to be informed when a new folder is added on a remote device, what is the best approach? Listening (RemoteIndexUpdated ?) event and doing thing with new folder information with auto accept folder ticked or don’t tick auto accept folder and let my script accept it automatically (but how? I don’t found something about it in REST Api doc)
Thanks

Hi, I use gocryptfs to create reverse encrypted folder which then should be synced to another server. If I scan both (the reverse gocryptfs folder) and the remote server folder through ssh they show the same number of files like on the WebUI. But they are different. One shows 112, the other 117.
On the next picture you can see that the sending server wants to send the missing 5 files but the reciever does not care. I have restarted both servers, but nothing happened. I rescanned the folder also.Different folders sizes also happen. I have one folder with 251k files and the remote starts syncing and after 246k folder it starts syncing files and the foldercount does not increase. Also the sender shows 120 files as global?
I have inotify to 300k on the sender, the reciever has inotify deactivated, as its only for backup and their should be no changes.
My sender is debian 64bit docker image syncthing/syncthing. The reciever is WDMyCloud (ARM) with the community addon. Both sucessfully synced one big folder already, both have version 1.7.1 and both filesystems are ext4.
My sender shortly showed a warning with the database and repaired 3 entries. I then sshed into the docker container used the command “syncthing -reset-database -reset-deltas” and it sayed “INFO: Successfully reset database - it will be rebuilt after next start.” I then restarted it through Web UI, it scanned the big folders very quickly (mostly were finished right away and showed up to date even if they are more than 100GB each).
The first folder that made trouble I deleted on the remote server through ssh and through Web UI and started again, after a while (first waiting for the initial scan of reciever) it worked.
I don’t know what to do, the whole sync process seems to be unreliable. Hope somebody has an idea.
(side note: on the sender the folders are mounted read only)

Hello, I tried to find the same issue in the forums but came up short.
My original set up is 1 Linux server and the rest are Windows desktops. Recently I switched my desktop from Windows to Linux and on that desktop I have a secondary drive ntfs called “Storage”. On this “Storage” drive all of the data is synced using syncthing.
I left my “Storage” drive as NTFS and all of the data on it. I set up syncthing on my Linux desktop and tried to sync with the Linux server. I am having a problem where it wants to redownload ‘mostly’ all of the files. It was in sync when it was a Windows machine and the exact same data. When I boot over to Linux, it tries to redownload all from the Linux server. I have validated that everything is the same.
I am on version v1.7.1 on both.

I added a new folder to a new device, and now Syncthing is constantly “spinning” on all of my devices stating that the folder is out of sync due to a single file and constantly (multiple times per second) rescanning. The folder on the new device has a file “.syncthing.FILENAME.pdf.tmp” instead of the actual file FILENAME.pdf. All other devices have the correct file.
I have tried the following:
I’ve read all the other threads with this same topic, but see no solutions. Thanks.

In the docs and on another thread, I found there is a command called stfileinfo. This will tell me what my 2 systems see when looking at a file. I am currently troubleshooting why my Dual Boot system wants to resync files on Linux and not Windows.
How do I build and run this?

Pressing the limits? What do you all think about 6,000,000 files and 4TB of data, using Syncthing on FreeNAS to weekly REPLICATE Windows Server Shares of millions of files, merely for the ease of Snapshotted backups, ransomware “protected” by the FreeNAS service?
In other words, what are the upper limits of what Syncthing has done, in practice?
