Error that I do not understand

Support

I have this error on one of my linux machines;

2026-08-22 12:59:27: Failed initial scan (error=“getglobalfile: fileinfo (unmarshal blocklist): proto: cannot parse invalid wire-format data” folder.label=albums folder.id=xxxxx-xxxxx folder.type=sendreceive log.pkg=model)

I can not make anything sensible out of it. It is a folder with music albums, this is synced between 4 linux computers and one android phone. JRiver media Center uses it on 2 linux computers, and on android I use “Music player”. It was working for a week, now this error suddenly appears on one linyx computer, that I have connected to a receiver for playing music. What can I do with this error message?

What Syncthing version are you using on this machine that shoes the error? And on the others?

Hi, I am using version 2.1.3, Linux (64-bit Intel/AMD)“Hafnium Hornet” on all machines.

Thanks. It sure sounds like something in Syncthing’s internal database got corrupted. Does this device get powered off without a proper shutdown from time to time?
