Another "Syncing" problem with ignored folder

Dear all.

I have a 5 PCs which runs Syncthing, with globally 16 Folders. I have a problem with one of them and exclusion paths.

PC A is a NAS, with 16 folders. B is a notebook, where I sync only partially some folders using the exclusion system.

For example in Folder “cns_doc” on the server and in other PCs I have everything, on the notebook I keep only lasts projects and the one I’m working on. On the notebook Syncthing is configured to exclude from the sync everything that has “_NOSYNC” in the path or is inside a subfolder called “Archivio”.

When a projected is ended I add the suffix “_NOSYNC” to the project folder or I move it in an Archive folder on the NAS and then remove the folder from the notebook. Everything was working fine, I’m using this method since 2014 when I started using Syncthing.

In last months I see on NAS that Synchthing is “syncing” with my notebook excluded folders, but on the notebook side everything is synced.

I attach some screenshots.

Server: Name: HPE_NAS - Runs OMV with v2.0.12, Linux (64-bit Intel/AMD)

Notebook: Name: Nicola - Lenovo LNX - Runs Debian Sid with v2.0.12, Linux (64-bit Intel/AMD)

The CPU on the server is always at 40~50% used by syncthing when notebook Lnx is connected.

The server shows as to be synced files that are inside an “ignored” folder by the client.

The problem is only with 2 folders, other folders where I adopt the same method I haven’t any problem (p.e. “Siti” is 50GB Globally, 5GB on Notebook but is not showing in the list of “Syncing”).

No idea on how to solve?

Maybe https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/7474? This is a cosmetic issue, as the files themselves are still synced (and ignored) correctly. The only workaround, as far as I know, is to connect all devices together.
