Hello, Perhaps a basic question here but I couldn’t find an answer on other posts, and first time posting here. A lot of directories have been deleted along with the files within them on a computer that had sync in pause. We’re talking several 10000’s files. Upon restarting to sync with other co…

The error is about the local situation, the situation in your RO folder. It doesn’t matter if it’s empty on the remote/SO. Are the files that are contained there-in ignored on SO? Folder types don’t matter if the file is ignored: RO can’t mirror SO when it comes to stuff that SO has ignored (not de…

The error is about the local situation, the situation in your RO folder. It doesn’t matter if it’s empty on the remote/SO. ok, I misread that, it makes sense now Are the files that are contained there-in ignored on SO? Folder types don’t matter if the file is ignored: RO can’t mirror SO when it…

Just to be sure: You don’t have any ignores except that one on both RO and SO, and there’s no rental.pst in any of the directories mentioned in the errors?

Ignore only on SO, no ignore on RO - I didn’t think it would be necessary to have the same ignore on both sides. the ignored pst is in a totally different folder [image] whereas the other directories that are not in sync in different locations, eg SO [image] RO [image]

Do the ignores on SO match any of the files present in the directories that create an error on RO? Or somewhat equivalently: If you add the same ignore patterns on RO as on SO, does the problem go away?

The ignore does not match to any file in the affected directories. It’s only for one file thats located in the zzITfiles - as shown on the snips I added the same ignore “(?d)rentals.pst” to the RO end, it took a while to scan but no change.

[image] imsodin: Could you grab the output of GET /rest/db/file — Syncthing documentation (or even better /rest/debug/file which works the same but has more info) for any of the files inside the directories that cause the errors please. On the SO or RO side?

I struggle (and panic) at the sight of rests and API as im on Windows, however we had a similar thread back in Feb 18 which I referred back to. Anyway, the output keeps failing… I took a random filename from one of the affected directories on the RO side and got this [image] I’m sure that I have…
