lately my to-be-synced folder is no longer synchronized (in one direction, it still works in the other direction).
I have set the log to “debug data for fs”.
In the log, lines like the following appear all the time [anonymized for privacy]:
[BANT3] 15:50:54 INFO: Puller (folder "MyFolder" (ab4cd-efgh), item "Netfolder\\some_long_path\\some_folder\\another_long_path\\abcdefg.JPG"): insufficient space in basic N:\Parent_Folder
The destination folder N:\Parent_Folder is located on a network drive that Windows specifies as “3.46 GB free of 874 GB”. That’s not much, but I don’t think that this value says much about the actual free space on the network drive anyway. On the C drive, approximately 60 of 240 GB are free.
I have already set the “Minimum Free Disk Space” setting to 1 KByte.
However, this setting does not affect the space on the folder to be synchronized anyway, only the space on the local hard disk where the index is located:
“Minimum Free Disk Space: This setting controls the free space required on the home (i.e., index database) disk.”
This is in my case the C: drive on which 60 GB are free.
What else could be the reason for the above error message about insufficient disk space?
Okay, thanks again, that seems to have worked. Most of the files are now synchronized. However, I get a different error message for about two dozen of the files:
Failed Items
The following items could not be synchronised. They are retried automatically and will be synced when the error is resolved.
[BANT3] 16:52:22 INFO: Puller (folder “MyFolder” (ab4cd-efgh), item “Netfolder\some_long_path\some_folder\another_long_path\ ABCDEFG.PDF”): file modified but not rescanned; will try again later
The thing is that all those files already exist in the destination folder, but with file names like
~syncthing~ABCDEFG.pdf.tmp
Btw, can I somehow tell Sync to create these temporary ~syncthing~ files as hidden files in the sync target folder?
Temporary files are already hidden while open. Once finished they are unhidden and thus when the final operations fail, they stay unhidden - which is what happened in case of your case difference failures. They will be removed automatically after 24h.
