Ravi,
Fresh server install...fresh client install with one folder containing
50GB of data...first sync attempt to push from client to server. That
is it.

I am confused a little with your sync setup. Were you trying to upload
the dir [ 50 GB ] for first time OR syncing already synced 50 GB on a
fresh machine.
Was it like one client is uploading and the other was downloading in
parallel ??

Hi folks,
After about 3 weeks of playing with iFolder, I finally got it set up the
way I wanted it. I had been testing along the way, and had it take over
"production" duties for some backup/sync I had been doing using another
application.
First up was a massive directory of web sites and files, backed up
across a LAN. It discovered changes in 300,000+ files (50GB or so)
...and was rolling along nicely.
I tend to be paranoid, so I always had the application and sync log
running on screen. At one point I checked in on progress and noticed
that it had been deleting files for some time. Considering I had not
synchronized this particular folder with another client, there is no
reason any files should be deleted...ever. It should simply sync them
up to the server as they change.
I don't know how or why, but 20GB of files had been deleted from my file
system before I stopped it. Thankfully I'm religious about my backup
process, and after shutting down the server I started recovering
everything I had.
Needless to say, not a confidence booster at all. I'll continue to
monitor iFolder and see how development goes, but there's no way I can
trust it as it stands. I certainly hope you guys are able to stabilize
things, because this is by far the only real open-source competitor to
cloud-based solutions like this...and I've been looking for a long while!
Best of luck,
AL
