Multiple Duplication of files that appear the same... #47

Closed domOrielton closed 4 years ago

domOrielton commented 4 years ago

Not sure what has happened here but rclonesync-v2 seems to be duplicating files when it does the sync. Below is an example folder but it did this for hundreds of files across many folders - I've attached an example listing with a shortened version below. file_listing.txt

uid@computer:~/Dropbox/Documents/Useful$ ls -la --time-style=full-iso total 872 208986 2016-10-31 17:26:02.414733000 +0000 100-blocks-pdf.pdf_Path1_Path1 208986 2016-10-31 17:26:02.000000000 +0000 100-blocks-pdf.pdf_Path1_Path2 208986 2016-10-31 17:26:02.414733500 +0000 100-blocks-pdf.pdf_Path2_Path1 208986 2016-10-31 17:26:02.414733500 +0000 100-blocks-pdf.pdf_Path2_Path2

The folder is a Dropbox folder if that makes a difference, and would have been monitored by the Dropbox app at the time rolesync-V2 was running.

My filters file is similar to the default one provided with a few dropbox additions. Filters.txt

Unfortunately the log has been overwritten so I can't upload that but the command/parameters used are below

rclonesync.py /home/computer/Dropbox/ remote:/my-dropbox/ --filters-file Filters --verbose > rclonesync.log 2>&1

Not sure if anyone else has come across this?

Hi. Ouch.

... and would have been monitored by the Dropbox app at the time rolesync-V2 was running.

This is Dropbox's Windows sync app? If so, I suspect that it and rclonesync are fighting with each other. I've not tested this scenario. The _PathX suffixed files come up when rclonesync sees a file changed on both sides. See the README for UNusual sync checks.

I'll close this issue for now, assuming that eliminating the Dropbox app from also syncing solves the problem. If that's not the problem, feel free to reopen it.
