Stuck syncing/out of sync with disconnects

Hi, I have issues that Syncthing is taking ages to sync a few (though some large) files. The setup is a send only dir on one machine, receive only on the other.

For whatever reason I am getting disconnects between the clients. It might be related to my VPN disconnecting sometimes, but the clients are on local network. I’ve even disabled the relays etc. to just use local discovery.

It seems like Syncthing syncs couple of MBs/KBs, then looses connection, waits like hour or even more and then repeats.

Why is Synthing setting so large and seemingly random retry intervals (1h11m! couldn’t find a setting for it)?

If possible, please add screenshots showing the Syncthing Web GUI on both sides. You can obfuscate any personal information, but please leave the version information visible.

Also, what operating systems are used here? Have you checked your firewall settings? If Windows is involved, the network needs to be set to “private” to allow direct connections, or otherwise Syncthing will be forced to rely on relays, which can be much slower. If they are disabled, as stated above, then Syncthing may not be able to connect at all.

Added screenshot from the receiving machine, both are Archlinux, same version of Syncthing. It looks the same on the sending machine, just the folder is not “Out of Sync”, but “Up to Date” and the receiving machine is listed there as “Syncing ([percentage and size])”.

You should get to the bottom of the disconnects, as that is most likely the cause. They should not happen under normal network conditions.

I agree, but it seems Syncthing isn’t recovery gracefully from disconnects, taking too long time. I think this message might be evidence of that:

syncthing[11644]: [F4BHT] INFO: Folder "tohostname" (tmt8v-4qaq7) isn't making sync progress - retrying in 1h11m0s.

Or does the message mean something else? How is this retry interval calculated? Is it configurable?

This message is just because the folder has been making no progress - which is impossible, because no devices serving the needed files are connected.

If the connection gets re-established, syncing immediatly resumes. New connections are attempted every 60 seconds, pretty much infinetly. As soon as your network (or the other device) is back up, they should reconnect a minute after.

As for the disconnects, it sounds a bit like some crappy WiFi network that collapses when under load - but that’s just a wild guess, could be anything.

Ok, the weird thing is that the devices have been shown in the Synthing GUI as connected, with statuses as I mentioned (OoS/Syncing on receiving machine, UtD on sending) both with 0BPS transfers. I remember that I’ve been able to ping between the devices (now Syncthing started using IPv6 for some reason and I can’t ping the IPv6 addresses).

OK, I’ve found the issue. After restart of the sender machine it started working fine. I decided to do another test and transfer few GBs of data. Halfway the I got into what I think was the state I described in the first post. Ping between the devices stopped working (“Destination Host Unreachable”). Looking into the log journal on the sender device I see some kernel wifi driver issues (microcode errors on Intel wifi driver). After disconnecting the wifi, reconnecting Syncthing caught up almost immediately.

If I can give some suggestions it would be nice if Syncthing device & folder statuses were more clear and accurate at all times, perhaps doing some more diagnostics tooling in the background (I’d expect it to utilize ping at least).

Thanks for all the help diagnosing the issue and the work on Syncthing!

I think I’ve spoken too soon, now I’m at the same state as at the start, the devices are pinging to each other just fine. Just Synthing is stuck.

Like I said during that time (since ~3:31) the devices were consistently pinging themselves. Syncthing was stuck as described in the first posts, pausing and resuming the devices in Syncthing didn’t help as far as I could tell (waited couple of minutes; anyway such manual intervention shouldn’t be necessary to recover gracefully).

This morning I found the files synced, so it eventually recovered, but it took too long. I think the issue might be Syncthing hanging on too long to invalid connections, it switching to IPv6 or something like that…

That’s IMHO a red flag. If the network is flaky all kind of weird things might happen.
