FreeFileSync Forum

hello,

any news about this issue? I had to temporarily dismiss the real time sync feature opting for a scheduled task than runs a batch containing the eight jobs every ten minutes.

hello,

I have returned to the donation edition since yesterday morning and from that time I haven't had any error. I have made a fine tuning on the number of threads used by the eight jobs, setting them to a reasonable number for what that particular job must do. Useless to set eight threads for a ...

again with version 12.1:
Again, clicking "Retry" makes the job to complete successfully.

Now I will install 12.2 Donation Edition and see...

Salvatore

despite having reduced to one all threads in all jobs, I've just got this error with the free edition:
Clicking "Retry" made the job to finish normally.

Salvatore

Both in the "Portable" version and in the installed version are set 4 treads.

Great, the next version should fix this, too.



However, the installed version continues to give that warning today again, while the Portable version (copied to the desktop) starts and finishes the synchronization ...

@Salvatore Besso: I'm pretty sure this is a (file system) race condition when multiple threads are trying to create the versioning folders => TODO

@kRel: I suspect it's a similar issue when multiple threads are creating the temp directories for recycling, but:

What values have you set for ...

hello,


This suggests the slow down is not caused by RealTimeSync, but by FreeFileSync. Perhaps you've set up eight RTS instances, each of which trigger the same FreeFileSync batch job shown on this screenshot: https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10209#p38033
Perhaps, FreeFileSync is ...

another update:

In the other thread

"Could not read attributes of file: Temporary access error: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND"

I wrote that I have uninstalled the donation edition and that I have installed the free edition. Running the same eight jobs with the free edition doesn't change the loading ...

Nevermind!
"RealTimeSync - Automated Synchronization" is the entry for RTS_x64.exe
"RealTimeSync - Automated Synchronization (32 bit)" is the entry for RTS.exe, which has to be 32 bit or course xCSxXenon, 30 Mar 2023, 18:56

but why are they both executed?

Salvatore

There's more to it than just running a 64-bit OS. It is using RTS_x64.exe for me. Are you sure you installed it in "Program Files" and not "Program Files (x86)"?

of course.

Salvatore

Back to discussion also because to @Salvatore Besso these errors happen with the "Donate" version and - as happens to Salvatore - I too have to click 2 or more times on "Ignore" to complete the synchronization.

With the Free Portable version FreeFileSync_11.28_[Donation_Edition]_Windows_Portable ...

I think the detail is important and that this singularity needs to be considered.


hello, thank you for the support :-)

I also want to emphasize that there is no recycle bin involved in my case.
I also want to emphasize that not all the jobs suffer of this problem, but all the jobs have the ...

The 16 entries is because both FFS and RTS have a xxx.exe that determines if you need to run xxx32.exe or xxx64.exe. It leaves the main exe running for some reason


so I should see a x64 process, and not a 32 bit one, my machine is 64 bit.

If it leaves the main exe running, is it something that ...

The issue obviously revolves around the monitoring of those remote folders. Are they monitoring UNC paths or do you have these locations mapped as drive letters?

That sounds more like the NAS is reporting the folder as a file incorrectly. I would bet that syncing the same source to a local local would work fine every time


it sounds strange that a NAS could erroneously report a folder as a file. But apart this, as I wrote, I have always used a NAS as ...

And with only 1 running?

I'm trying just now. Will report.

That is with 8 running, but nothing to do?

Exactly. Nothing to do for the eight jobs, but the other program still requires almost one minute to start instead of two seconds.

Do any of your RTS overlap in the directories they are ...

hello again,

I have started to play with RTS following the instructions found in the documentation and all seems to work well. On this computer (from which I'm writing) I have eight jobs that were normally executed manually every now and then. I have saved them as batch and then loaded in RTS and ...

hello,

just joined the forum. I hit this error as well, but in my case the recycle bin has nothing to do with my problem. Some additional information before explaining:

- This problem happens with not only one job, but with several.
- All my jobs use UNC paths for the destinations and for the ...
