supported file formats for detecting moved/renamed file

[roh666]

Hello, I cannot find an explicit list of file systems that support detecting moved/renamed files. also what if the source and target use different file systems? Is SMB breaking the function?

I tried these setups:
1. Master NTFS USB source HD sync via USB with NTFS internal drive - detecting worked, the comparing was very fast
2. Macbook with master USB drive formated HFS+ sync via SMB with NTFS windows machine - detecting did not work, comparing was very slow
3. Macbook with master USB drive formated HFS+ sync via SMB with BTRFS Synology NAS - detecting does not work, comparing is very slow

Currently I am on setup 3.I am renaming and organizing photos and I would really love the detect moved file function to work and improve the speed of comparison. Can you please advise any solution?

It is based on file IDs, that is how FFS detects renames/moves. Both sides would only have to support it if you are using two-way sync. Unix filesystems don't support stable file IDs, which is why your Mac storage devices aren't working with it. Synology's filesystem/OS is also unix based, so doesn't work either. I used a Windows file share over SMB/NTFS and it works from what I can see
