(Originally posted in general topics - no replies, so I deleted - but this is a repeating issue now - might be a bug?)
I’m running a daily Sync job, and it’s not working.
Source files are on Linux Mint (v22.3) and destination is an ‘Opendrive’ account (which has happily worked with ‘copy’ jobs and other ‘Sync’ jobs before).
The job covers a branched directory structure. If I add files/folders to the structure on the source drive, Sync properly updates the destination on Opendrive.
But if I DELETE files/folders on the source drive, they are NOT removed from the destination - neither when running as a scheduled job, or when running it manually. If there are deletions and no additions, Rcloneview reports ‘Success’ and zero files changed, when in fact a whole directory and its files might have been deleted from the source. I’ve also tried deleting individual files and the same thing happens.
Weirdly, if I ‘dry run’ the job the outcome report correctly identifies all the deletions - yet running the job for real leaves the destination files (in Opendrive) unchanged and gives a ‘zero changes’ report.
I have tried creating a brand new Sync job with the same directory structure and I get the same failure, so it’s not the job itself.
But if I create a new job covering a SINGLE sub-folder and make deletions via that, it works - though it still reports “0 files processed”.
So for some reason Rcloneview unidirectional Sync won’t delete files/folders from a branched folder structure. And for a single folder, it deletes but reports “no changes, 0 files processed”.
Even though it DOES make the correct changes for adding new files/folders.
Is this a bug? Surely a unidirectional Sync should remove deleted files from the destination, and report on the changes?
Thanks.
