ResilioSync (ex BtSync) and BTRFS snapshots
Just a word of caution if you're using ResilioSync (former BTSync) and the "SnapshotReplicator" (BTRFS) and have "make snapshots visible"-option enabled. ResilioSync will sync the "#snapshots" directory aswell and you most likely wouldn't want that (your sync-destinations will run out of diskspace!)
I've discussed this "feature" with Resilio but they have no intentions of fixing it so you have to manually configure the "#snapshot" folder to be skipped.
To do this, go to your Synced-folder and check out the ".sync"-folder. Here you have a file called "IgnoreList". Open this with your favourite texteditor and add a line like this:
"?snapshot" (without the " of course).
This will make ResilioSync to skip the snapshot-folder.

thanks for documenting this, I came across the same issue recently. I note that resilio document this now:
ReplyDeletehttps://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/205458165-Ignoring-files-in-Sync-Ignore-List-
however, that document also states that you can provide paths as well. Given that the snapshot directories are always in the root of the shared folder, I edited the entry in the ignorelist to:
/#snapshots
This then doesn't match any other file or folder, so if you have one called "asnapshot" this will get sync'd whereas using the ? wildcard it won't. Seems to work for me ...
