Hello again and thank you for this marvellous application.
I have an issue though, and I don’t know how to get over it.
I am synchronising my desktop and my laptop, with two servers, each of my personal machines to be able to see everything, but the two servers are able to see the private machines but not one another (just in case a cycle appears). The number of files is huge, more than 100.000.
Since I am rather new with syncthing, I keep an eye on the unsynched items and if I find files following the pattern [filename].sync[ID].[original_extension] I review it and if it is indeed an old file, I remove it by hand (i.e. rm -rf…)
The problem is that, for some strange reason, two folders are still mentioned as “Out of Sync Items”, although they don’t physically exist on any of my machines. And I am pretty sure that this is more than the 24-h delete time.
Because of them, not any server manifests itself as synchronized, and always stays at 95-99%.
For reference, here is what the interface says about these files:
ierax is my laptop. Indeed there were still some traces of the folder. I really didn’t comprehend that. Thank you. And the .hg folder there was a relic that I wanted to get rid of.
But, you are right that I have a few of git repositories. Right now I just ignore all .git folders, as there is a recommendation in the forum.
Shouldn’t be this enough?
Thank you again for your time!
EDIT: as a second thought, since I deleted that folder, shouldn’t it dissapear from all the devices gradually?
I got exactly the same problem: one file (named quiero.mp4) that i deleted on one machine now remains definitively “out of sync”, the folder containing it also remains “out of sync” and the other machines remains syncing at 99%.
On the device that is out of sync, check the logs or ui for failed items with an explanation why the file can’t he synced. This can also happen if the file is ignored.
This is found when expanding the folder that is shown as out-of-sync. If there is no failed items entry, please look at the out-of-sync entry. And logs still help, even if they don’t mention the files explicitly. There should be information about pulling operations.
When expanding the folder, Out of sync items entry only list the file causing the issue (quiero.mp4).
I will try to investigate by reading the log, following your advice
