What ?

If you want to delete a symlink of a folder, then the webdavsyncmanager can´t handle it by method removeFolder

Why ?

The filesystem does not distinguish between symlinks to files and symlinks to folders. And you can´t ask for is_directory or is_normal_file because the folder was already erased.

What to do ?

Save the state of every file and ask for it (Maybe use fileStateDatabase more?)

• Inotify
• FileStateDatabase
• SyncManager

In some cases applications write in short time several time on
the filesystem resulting in a lot of modify events(e.g. creating a tar archive). So same events on same resources should by deduplified.

New Events fails on adding new watch:

C New event /home/erik/backup/knowledgebase/computer_arithmetik/PAPER_computer_arithmetic_ebook.pdf 256 IN_CREATE

C [Debug] WebdavSyncManager::pushFile: Push file /home/erik/backup/knowledgebase/computer_arithmetik/PAPER_computer_arithmetic_ebook.pdf to /erik/knowledgebase/computer_arithmetik/PAPER_computer_arithmetic_ebook.pdf

C [Debug] EventManager::PushBackEvent: Last event was handled /home/erik/backup/knowledgebase/computer_arithmetik/PAPER_computer_arithmetic_ebook.pdf 256 IN_CREATE

C [Debug] InotifyFileSystemScanner::Execute: Add new watch file: /home/erik/backup/knowledgebase/computer_arithmetik/PAPER_computer_arithmetic_ebook.pdf

Both classes provide Information about events on files and directories but use different container classes/structs

On initial sync:

Instead of copying whole files just tranfer deltas of the files
