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?

Well, now I think of it, jRiver got “stuck” one time, and I had to press the power button to shut the system down, because it went not responding for a long time and over ssh I could not reach it anymore.. Well, maybe I’d better remove syncthing from this system, and put the music on a network location (server, which I am setting up now) so that if this system hangs again, it does not corrupt sync… Thanks for your time and input!

Turned out to be a RAM issue.. 1 module failed in memtest86+
