Re: Remove "sync.ffs_lock"... won't go away
xCSxXenon... Thanks for that explanation.
It was helpful, and I'll try your suggestion, concerning the Dropbox client.

Re: Remove "sync.ffs_lock"... won't go away
If the LockDirectoriesDuringSync flag is set to false, what risk do I run? And why did this just start showing up in the last couple of weeks?... Puzzling to me, because nothing has changed, except a time frame of ~20-25days (been out of state 2wks, w/computer shut down and left behind), and this st...

Notifications grayed out
Why would the notification sounds be grayed out and not functioning?
They were functioning, but not now.

Re: Parallel file operations
I guess more "trial & error" testing is in order, but was hoping that had already been tested, and that there was a suggested number of parallel ops.You'll have to run more tests to know, but sounds like even 4 -> 8 threads doesn't add any benefit either xCSxXenon, 04 Sep 2022, 14:04

That's a very theoretical question and depends on what your hardware is. For most people on here, a single thread will be just as fast as any other amount of threads, if not faster.

What is the Max number of Parallel file operations, before reaching a point of diminishing returns?
And is there any difference whether you are using Linux or W10?

Re: Cannot write modification times...
It appears that the lack of "Modification Time" being written, is definitely a Linux FFS issue, and not a W10 FFS issue. The "Mod Times" are written to the SD card backup media in the W10 version of FFS, but are not written to the same SD card backup media in the Linux version of...

Well, my "Q" has been answered.... "the old-fashioned way". Without "Mod Dates", comparisons see the files as new files, and calls for an unnecessary Sync after every comparison. This unnecessary Sync has been going on for the past 2wks, and having to pick through 364 f...

"Cannot write modification times" warning has just started showing up as of today.
My question is what effect will this have on future comparisons, or will it just be these annoying warnings?

Re: Can parts of a session be run separatly?
That's the answer I was looking for.
I had poked around, but didn't try the "minus" button, out of fear I'd have to redo the session profile all over again.

Can parts of a session be run separatly?
In the session shown below, should I want to run only 1 portion of the session, say "DropboxCopy", is it possible to run only that part, or does the session have to run all 7 parts as a whole?

FFS saves the last sync date upon being closed regularly. If you reboot with FFS still open, the last sync date is not saved. As a test, I tried rebooting both ways, closed, then open...

Just finished a Sync, rebooted, and now it's 6days ago since last sync.
Time for reboot is, on average, ~20sec.
I've had this happen every time, after a reboot.
