hello there, thank you that you exist. a very helpful and patient user is helping me to sync my synology DS with my extern usb drive on a RASPI.
i only send from DS and only receive at RASPI side.
both sides ignore patterns are the same, filesystem is ext4 and unixoid.
i get the “Local Additions”
when i click Locally Changed Items, i see a list of folders, no files
we tried to change the rights, we renamed the folder so the sync took place again but the “local additions” do appear again.
i also clicked on the red button (revert local cahnges)
the log says “Revert: directory is not empty; files within are probably ignored on connected devices only”
the ignore pattern is:
#include .stglobalignore
/#recycle
(?i)#recycle
// .stglobalignore
// Incomplete Downloads
// At least for now, these prevent Syncthing from transferring data that’s
// going to be thrown out anyway once the download is finished and the
// file is renamed. Things may change when Syncthing gets smarter.
//
// Firefox downloads and other things
*.part
// Chrom(ium|e) downloads
*.crdownload
Synology doesn’t do permissions like regular Unixes*. Setting ignore permissions is probably required on all folders in Syncthing. It might or might not be enough.
*) Yes I’m aware these are POSIX.1e/NFSv4 ACLs and are, as such, very much Unix. They’re still weird and Syncthing doesn’t support them.
It’s useful whenever the underlying file system doesn’t retain normal Unix permission bits. Synology appears to be such a system most of the time. Set it there.
