Hello,

it completed sync of one partition, but for other partition with same filesystem i believe it always (made 2 attempts so far) crash druring the sync (window disappear and i do not see the freefilesync process). This is on Linux Arch/Manjaro: 5.8.18-1-MANJARO ; FFS 11.0-1 - i think from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freefilesync/
(i do not know how to build i prefer to use auto updating packages)
Source is ZFS filesystem and destination is NTFS (via NTFS-3g? on Linux).

I was checking journalctl , dmesg , /var/log (maybe wrongly) and found no "freefilesync"

Then in the app Options is log path where i have not found any log file for today even the crash happened today. Only files for previous runs. The last one seems to be success one with the list of transferred files.

Anyone is able to fix this crashes and help instruct me where to look, what to do?

I think that maybe memory insufficiency may be the problem, but i would guess system would log the app termination in system logs? i am running compressed swap (zswap). here memory stats

Note that the initial scan takes around 2,5 hours, 5,3 million files around. So i want to minimize the number of tries to very minimum. Thank you

I had a similar issue where i have three pc's running manjaro and freefilesync runs ok on one pc. On the other two FFS would lock up comparing around the 50,000 file mark. The two pc's that lock have wine installed, so I excluded */.wine/ in the FFS filter and re-ran just fine on the two pc's. Hope this helps someone...
