I’ve set up a Debian Stable machine that’s joining my Macs (a Mac mini and a MacBook Pro) and iPad. “My Mac” in the following refers to my Mac mini, the only thing that syncs with my Debian machine.
My Mac is currently running v1.27.4
. On Debian, I’m running v1.19.2-ds1
.
After the dust settled for the initial sync, my Mac said there’s one out-of-sync item: a .DS_Store
file. The GUI says that the device that last modified it is my Mac.
I don’t really need .DS_Store files here, so I ran
find . -name .DS_Store -delete
on both sides.
Rebooted both computers multiple times in passing.
Still, the error persists.
Then I checked my dotfiles. My Mac has had a .stignore
that looks like this for years:
#include .stignore-shared
And, in .stignore-shared
:
(?d).DS_Store
(?d)Thumbs.db
(?d)_gen
Then I realized I hadn’t copied over the .stignore
file to my Debian machine. I did that. Still, the error isn’t clearing up. There still isn’t a .DS_Store in the directory on either side.
I then had a look at Non-existing files stuck on "Out of Sync Items" - #22 by imsodin and tried running both sides with --reset-deltas
(something unhelpfully turned --
into either -
or –
or —
there) and that didn’t help, either.
Now I’m well and truly stuck. What can I do to convince the instance of Syncthing running on my Mac mini that everything’s OK?
Thanks in advance.
