Client fail indexing on a mac os x with remote home #2944

Hi, please have a look at this screencast: http://youtu.be/UIb06doLGCI You can see the client is indexing something that looks exadecimal: two chipers. This mac os x account has few files and also exluded the Library and all files starting by a dot. It's costantly indexing.

This is a mac 10.9.5 and is a domain with a mac X serve. The home folder is not stored localy but on the X serve. I don't know if that matters at all.

Owncloud client version is 1.7.1.

I'm not sure I understand here.

Do you see those hexadecimal directories when you use the ownCloud webinterface? How does your remote URL look like? How does your local sync folder path look like?

No

How does your remote URL look like?

http://cloud.mydomain.com

How does your local sync folder path look like?

it looks like /Network/Servers/xserve.localdomain/Home/username. https://cloud.extensys.it/public.php?service=files&t=82a6d5cfb777c12ff044e66918fc0e55

Syncing your whole home folder is not supported, sorry. There is too much files changing all the time. You can sync a subfolder like Music.

I've been excluding Library and all files starting by . The same thing works for a local user: syncing the whole home folder excluding Library and .*

If you want to find out which file is changing and triggering a sync you try to run the client from Terminal.app like this:

/Applications/owncloud.app/Contents/MacOS/owncloud --logfile -
