Hello,
I’m running the latest version of syncthing on my Ubuntu 15.04 Notebook (ext4 file system) and my raspberry pi running the squeezeplug/max2play image (external hdd - fat32). I’m experiencing the same “folder isn’t making progress” - issue many users seem to have, but I couldn’t find a solution in any of the threads so far.
I tried to erase the index, however that did not work.
I seem to get 2 different root causes
- invalid argument (its a rather long path and the filename contains German Umlauts)
- no such file or directory (rather long path filename does not contain German Umlauts)
Filenames or path don’t contain any other special characters. That happens with about 160 files.

I am the owner of the files (not root) and I had the files backuped on the hdd before. The raspberry pi should be set to utf8_de_de so I don’t think Umlauts should make a problem. Might the path be to long for a fat32 partition? I don’t think so because I already had the files on it.
I know there is already this thread about the same topic but it doesn’t look as if they found a solution and it is for an older version, thats why I startet a new thread.
I didn’t filed a bug yet, but probably will do so in case it is one (and not a stupid mistake on my side).
greetings,
Tobias
