Hi everybody,
I am having troubles with my setup which is made by device A (a debian server where i backup my files) and device B (my windows 7 laptop, from where I do the backups.
The problem is that deletions made on my laptop, are not replicated on my server and the hard drive fills up after some time. Is it a problem of permissions?
I’m sorry for the off-topic question, but I can’t understand if -logfile option requires the full directory or the filename only. In case it is the filename only, where would the log file be placed?
If you’re using systemd, don’t use logfile but instead view the log with sudo journalctl -r -u <user>@syncthing.service, e.g. sudo journalctl -r -u syncthing@syncthing.service.
Let’s take the folder desktop, for example. I just created two files: srvr.png and pc.png on device B. They have been transfered to device A (I checked, they were on device A). Afterwards I deleted them on device B, but even after 10 minutes and rescanning the desktop folder, they still were on the device A.
This happened in the last 15-20 minutes. Here is the log of that time frame.
