Not able to make my first sync

[tommyatkadx]

Client on Windows 7 x64.
Server on Debian x64.

I have a folder (MP3s) with:
32.0 GO (34 388 950 062 bytes)
8 972 files, 723 Folders.

Trying to replicate from Computer #1 to Computer #2.

I frist (on computer #1) added a "sync Folder", with Name "TommyMusic",

On the Web Server, I started seeing files and folder,

so, on the Computer #2, I added the same "sync Folder" wth the name "TommyMusic" to a local folder.

After a while,it seems that all files been replicated to the Web Server, and 31 Go on the Computer #2.

I checked hours after, to see if it was finished, and the Computer #2 was 8.5 Go.

Hours after, was 25 Go

And right now:
on Computer #2:
6.53 Go (7 018 740 961 octets)
2 292 Files, 723 folders

and, euuuhhh, on Computer #1:
37.0 GB (39 752 028 421 bytes)
11 341 Files, 723 Folders.

If I search on "Computer #1" for "conflict", I find 2 581 items.

Don't seem the client is very stable... Client or Server problem? How can I debug my problem? running the --logwindow make my client "hanging", and --logfile never append anything

Please note that I did a "search and replace" on all server files from "basename(" to a regex replace because of my french accent char.

The server does not support renaming files on the file system.

Hmm. I don´t understand this fully. The server should supports renaming.

[karlitschek]

O.K. now I understand. You should never rename files on the server. This will break things. Please try again without the manual rename.

I didn't rename "files" on the system, I changed the php code to support my french accent. My problem is not related to this:

more info on the search and replace:
owncloud/core#236

I did a new test, First, I created the server folder, and synced the computer #1. When the computer #1 was fully sync the server, I added the computer #2... seems to works better.

If I kill the client at the middle of the sync (computer #2), when I start back the client, it start creating conflict...

[danimo]

Oh, ok, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding then :-)

[tommyatkadx]

Oki,

Computer #1 was saying "Last Sync Completed successfully" yesterday, so I started Sync on Computer #2

Now, Computer #2 says "Sync Completed", and Computer #1 says "Currently syncing"

Computer #1 (source folder)
31.6 Go, 8916 Files, 723 folders

Compter #2
31.0 Go, 8322 Files, 723 Folders

=-/

you should have a webservice on the webserver to manage the list of files and status, and not just compare source <> destination folder diff when syncing...

@tommyatkadx said "I changed the php code to support my french accent.". That's not what you are supposed to do. What changes did you do?

[tommyatkadx]

please see owncloud/core#236

I changed the code because I don't expect owncloud to fix my issue for the next years

[danimo]

What is the status here? Does it work with 4.5.6 and the 1.2.0 client?
