btsync can't save settings?
Hi,
I did install btsync and it did work perfect, I did intall the latest version from the dropbox of the dev.
Did run it for 2-3 days, then I rebooted the NAS and after reboot btsync forgets the settings.
Do some one know how to fix it?
I have tried Factory reset, I have tried it with 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 but the same issue is still there.

- super_poussinVirtuosoA chmod 777 /data/btsync/config -R should be enough
- devosTutorIt do not work :( I'll do a factory reset now for the last time and then try again trough the UI
- devosTutorThe issue is still there after I have done a factory reset.
Any idés? Why do I get this issue but not you?
I have a totally clean NAS after factory reset, I can't understand. - devosTutorhmm okej, after the factory reset it did not work, I did not do anything but now for some reason it just did start to work again.
And I have not done anything actually, it first did not work but now it do work.
The only funny thing now is that I can't change anything but I got my sync folders there anyway, so it do seem that now the profile is blocket again so to say, so now i can't change port or add any new folders to btsync.
I have lookt around a little, and if I do connect to the SMB with admin account I don''t have the permission to access the config folder in btsync why''s that?
I thought that admin account suppose to have access to everything?
This is a clean setup, only btsync installed.
So just to write a flow.
1. factory reset
2. installed btsync
3. did not work, did not save the profile.
4. after two restarts of btsync it did save the config.
5. Now I can't change anything in the config, add new sync:s etc.
6. trugh SMB as admin I can't access config folder under btsync folder, it only have a read - round thing on the folder.
Edit:
I have fixed it![code]root@nas-34-B0-A6:/apps/btsync# chown guest:guest -R /apps/btsync/config
root@nas-34-B0-A6:/apps/btsync# chown guest:guest -R /data/btsync/config
root@nas-34-B0-A6:/apps/btsync# chmod -R 777 /data/btsync/config
root@nas-34-B0-A6:/apps/btsync# chmod -R 777 /apps/btsync/config
root@nas-34-B0-A6:/apps/btsync# ls -l /data/btsync/config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 guest guest 19 Jan 15 23:16 /data/btsync/config -> /apps/btsync/config
root@nas-34-B0-A6:/apps/btsync# ls -l /apps/btsync/config
total 4
-rwxrwxrwx 1 guest guest 1839 Jan 15 23:16 sync.conf
root@nas-34-B0-A6:/apps/btsync#
[/code]
But, I need to change the sync.conf file trough SSH, but I can finally add new Sync folders and restart etc and it 'll be there.
This must be a bug or something maybe 6.1.6 did update something in my OS that I did not clean out when I rewirted back to 6.1.5?
Now to my last question, this is not secure so can I but like admin/admin on btsync folder or maybe the sync folder? I don't want people to access my files without pw if someone plays around in my network =( - devosTutorDid found out what the issue was, it's a bug on Mavericks in the SMB2.
If you do access a network driver with SMB2 under Mavericks, it's somehow change the permissions in the folders / files.
