So i have files in a folder on my NAS, i have tried instructing freefilesync 11.5 but it doesn't work well.
task mode: Update
source:  /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=nas326,share=x-shard/OpenRCT2
target: /home/dragonfox/.var/app/io.openrct2.OpenRCT2
Filter: [exclude any "config.dat" file]
The filter is lost on each run, some files do not get copied and the the task finishes without an error.
However, if i run the task again, it attempts to copy every file over again!

Log:
Cannot determine free disk space for "/home/dragonfox/.var/app/io.openrct2.OpenRCT2".
ENOENT: No such file or directory [statfs]
07:24:19 Info: Creating file "/home/dragonfox/.var/app/io.openrct2.OpenRCT2/object/1A.DAT"

this folder has something like 5250 files in total.
generally 1-10 files are created/modified weekly.

Sounds like the NAS doesn't support detecting move/renamed files or the db is getting wacked

How does that apply when the NAS is the source?
I can see an issue if it was the target.

Well if it doesn't support detection, then it will see those operations as deleting and copying on the source, thus applying the same delete and copy on the destination.

it shouldn't apply to */*.* regardless. the entire folder is 950MB currently, generally the files that are changed is at most about 1MB each.
(the network is fast enough that a full copy isn't an issue if it was reliable)
