[BUG] seafile-ignore.txt seems not working

[CepheiSigma]

i was added .plugin_symlinks to seafile-ignore.txt，but seafile still index this folder. this folder has recursive symlink and seafile will consume huge memory that will lead os crash

Here is log

FindFirstFile failed \\?\F:\Project\Dart\Whale\movie\windows\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\linux\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\windows\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\windows\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\windows\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\example\windows\flutter\ephemeral\.plugin_symlinks\fluter_plugin\libplayer: 1921.

Hi, I don't think you are using seafile-ignore.txt correctly. You can refer to excluding_files or ask on the forum.

@feiniks that was not a configuration error, i was checked seaf-daemon's source code, before seafile sync repo, do_check_dir_locked will be invoked,but this function was not following the seafile-ignore.txt, because of recursive symlink that should have been ignored has been scaned, this function will enter dead-loop.

Hi, the seafile server does not allow symlinks, so directories with symlinks will not be synced from the server. And do_check_dir_locked will only be called when downloading synchronously, so it will not check a directory containing symlinks. Can you show seafile-ignore.txt?

Hi, you should follow seafile's ignore rules. Suppose your repo name is flutter, if you wan't to ignore plugin_symlinks folder under the repo, you should write like this in seafile-ignore.txt:ephemeral/plugin_symlinks/ ephemeral/plugin_symlinks/*.

[CepheiSigma]

@feiniks i add Dart/Whale/movie/windows/flutter/ephemeral/.plugin_symlinks/ and Dart/Whale/movie/windows/flutter/ephemeral/.plugin_symlinks/* to seafile-ignore.txt but it was no effect
