Adding a directory to ignore list make osync delete it
On a working 2 host replication I have added one directory (existing on both hosts) to the ignore list. osync has deleted it on both hosts. Hopefully I have found it in the deleted directory...
So two hosts with ssh based replication. Master has osync 1.3.0-rc1 run as a systemd service:
/usr/local/bin/osync.sh /etc/osync/fcd_sync.conf --on-changes --errors-only
One directory (it was that with ( in filenames) is synced but with error. So I add it to ignore list, expecting it to remain on both servers as is. But it was deleted on target. I am going to retry the same steps again and capture the log.
After changing the setting I have restarted the service so it starts replication. Nothing special in the logs:
TIME: 0 - Sat Oct 24 20:22:18 EDT 2020 - osync 1.3.0-rc1 script begin.
TIME: 633 - No are no conflicatual files.
TIME: 634 - osync finished.
2020-10-24 20:57:02 - osync finished.
2020-10-24 20:57:02 - osync finished.
2020-10-24 20:57:02 - Sat Oct 24 20:57:02 EDT 2020 - osync 1.3.0-rc1 script begin.
TIME: 0 - Sat Oct 24 20:57:02 EDT 2020 - osync 1.3.0-rc1 script begin.
TIME: 649 - No are no conflicatual files.
TIME: 650 - osync finished.
And my testing directory is in deleted files now! On both servers.
I can confirm this one. Problem is osync is stateful, so once you add stuff to the ignore list after osync has "seen" it in the previous run, it suggests that the folder shouldn't be there to osync, hence the deletion. Indeed this behavior is not acceptable, I'll see how I can get the delete function to honor the ignore list, since it's rsync format, and the delete function isn't.
