Global State size i huge on send only folder (syncthing @ synology)

hi there, please help me.

i need to setup syncthing again, after a big synology update.

one folder just keeps saying that it is too big. its a send only folder. the local folder size is right. also the receiving syncthing node has the right folder size.

i am afraid of clicking “override”

SEND

RECEIVE Bildschirm­foto 2023-06-02 um 10.18.32

in another folder it says “Shared Temp error while traversing /volume1/shared temp/@eaDir/SYNO@.fileindexdb: permission denied”

but this folder should be ignored by

// # ########## Synology files
.SynologyWorkingDirectory
@eaDir
@SynoResource
@synoResource
.@__thumb
#recycle
/#recycle
(?i)#recycle

what is wrong there? what do i do wrong?

is anyone here who could may be have a suggestion ? thank you in advance

Presumably the additional files have existed at some point, perhaps announced by another device or due to a folder path changing. Hitting override will mark them as deleted, which is probably what you want, assuming that the contents on disk right now are what you want to sync towards others.

Not sure about the second issue, if the ignore patterns shown are all the ignore patterns. If you also have !-patterns this is expected.

okay, then i will try to trust you an clickm the override, hopefully everything will be alright then :wink:

and the complete ignore patterns (for my second question) are these:

// # IgnoreList is a UTF-8 encoded .txt file that helps you specify single files, paths and rules
// # for ignoring during the synchronization job. It supports "?" and "*" wildcard symbols.
// #
// # ? substitutes any single character in a filename
// # * substitutes a string of several (any number) characters in a filename
// # a/**/b ignore between root and target folder, will ignore folders a/b, a/x/b, a/x/y/b and so on
// # ABC/CDE F will ignore subfolder “CDE F" of “ABC" which is located in a subfolder

This doesn’t do what was probably intended (ignore things called !sync) but rather says to exclude things called sync from being ignored. This applies to the whole directory tree, so Syncthing needs to look deep everywhere for files called sync, also trying to traverse otherwise ignored directories.

Probably you should just remove that line.
