OS X - Upgraded to FFS 6.13, now certain files being sync'd over and over again even when FFS recognizes they are the same...

[Zenju]

So far, so good.

I completely formatted the remote drive, wiping out the previous directory structure entirely. I then completely removed FFS from my machine, including the app support directory and preference files.

Regardless of whether I use SMB or AFP, the created and modified dates are both reserved.

EDIT: For right now, I'm going to stick with AFP. Despite the fact that RTS still calls FFS for no reason every 20 seconds, AFP is faster (by quite a bit actually, transferring about 100GB of data took 15 minutes longer with SMB) and maintains the resource fork in the main file rather than writing an external file like SMB.

Great to hear it's working; thanks a lot for the additional testing!

I'll do it again if at some point in the future you'd be willing to look into why it's running FFS every 15-20 seconds only when using AFP.

I think the ball is currently on your part, to find out what file or folder is triggering the change:
viewtopic.php?t=280
That said, I'm not too optimistic to find a root problem, that is solvable by FFS, since all that FFS does is handle the change notification that it receives from the OS.

What else can I do? I got the console output as you requested. All the messages state is that the remote watched folders are triggering a call to FFS. The logs indicate that they're being compared but there's nothing to sync.

Here's a copy of the latest log file.

Please post on the other thread, as this is a different topic. The info on what triggered the sync cannot be found in the FFS log file but in variable %changed_file filled by RTS.

Sorry about that. I've continued on in the other thread.
