Hello everyone,
I am running syncthing v0.14.45 on a freenas system with version: FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5 (FREENAS.amd64) #2 r244158M
The version used do work flawlessly before that, no hardware or software change was done to the system meanwhile. The nas is working without issues otherwise.
The system is: |Platform|Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz| |Memory|8037MB|
Since about March 3 2018 syncthing stopped working with the following email being sent to me:
> **[Dropbox - File Deleted](https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgjvx02ilob1uzn/syncthing_log.txt?dl=0)**
>
> Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Never email yourself a file again!
Could someone please help me resolve this, syncthing has become a major factor in my workflow 🙂
Thank you very much beforehand.

That’s a bug, [I filed it](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/4806). Try to not enable filesystem watching. Also, you should consider something a little less end of life OS-wise… I’m not sure but there’s a good chance that the “not implemented” panic is because it depends on functionality that just doesn’t exist in 8.3.

Thanks for your reply. I guessed as much. Just making sure before I invest the time in upgrading the Nas software.

Should still be able to run if you don’t enable the FS watcher, I would guess.

Wouldn’t something stop working without the fs watcher?

No, Syncthing has run fine without the FS watcher since forever using just periodic scanning. FS watcher is just a nice to have.

This might be happening to me too. I am running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201605170422 and as soon as syncthing auto updated to v0.14.45 it stopped working (My freenas syncthing plugin does not start at all).
I had to install a new instance of syncthing (v0.14.3) and change the Release Url option to a custom JSON that contains only v0.14.44 as the latest version. Once it updates to v0.14.44 everything works as expected (and my freenas syncthing plugin can start and stop on command)

I believe it’s even worse: Disabling fs watcher won’t help as the error occurs at the declaration of a global variable in the notify library.

Oh, that’s not optimal. Can you guys see if this build fixes the panic?
[https://build.syncthing.net/viewLog.html?buildId=18129&buildTypeId=Syncthing\_BuildLinuxCross&tab=artifacts](https://build.syncthing.net/viewLog.html?buildId=18129&buildTypeId=Syncthing_BuildLinuxCross&tab=artifacts)
If not, a full panic trace would be good. I’m downloading a 9.3 VM to see if I can reproduce it myself.

Works for me on 9.3-p49 now at least.

Installed a new instance of syncthing on my freenas instance. I went from v0.14.3 \> v0.14.44 \> v0.14.46-rc.1 and I still get my original error where the syncthing plugin does not want to start after updating to the latest version.
I’m not sure if my issue is related to the OP. I’ll try to dig from some logs since FreeNas’s plugin/jail system is a blackbox to me.
Edit: @Nikolay_Nenov where are the logs located on a freenas syncthing jail installation?

Hello Nypd,
I have no idea about the jails, I was running syncthing directly on the machine, not in a jail.

Hello Jakob,
Many thanks for your help.
Build syncthing-freebsd-amd64-v0.14.45+27-gd137cd6 did not work on
reeBSD freenas\_nne.local 8.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5 #2 r244158M: Wed Dec 12 10:04:42 PST 2012 [root@build.ixsystems.com](mailto:root@build.ixsystems.com):/home/jpaetzel/8.3.0/os-base/amd64/usr/home/jpaetzel/8.3.0/FreeBSD/src/sys/FREENAS.amd64 amd64
exits with same error:
panic: function not implemented
Let me know how to do the “full panic trace”?
All best,

Just the full output when you run it. Ideally with `-no-restart` to avoid a bunch failed restarts on top. And be sure to use the right binary, or 0.14.46-rc.1 now. It would be surprising if it still panicked with that build.

Hello Jakob,
With syncthing-freebsd-amd64-v0.14.46-rc.1+1-g55a7830 on FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5 #2 r244158M now the error changed to:
[monitor] 11:13:37 FATAL: stderr: pipe: function not implemented
I guess it’s finally time to upgrade my two NAS boxes. ☹

That’s something else, indeed. And try with `-no-restart`.

IT WORKED!
With the -no-restart option it worked 😃
You just saved me many hours in reinstalling and reconfiguring of two machines. 🙂
Cheers!
