+Thanks for git annex!
+
+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I've set up two computers A, B to sync to (and each other through) a remote server S. If I add files to A, it syncs with S. But B is not getting synced unless I run 'git annex sync' or restart the daemon in the webapp, i.e. I don't see these files on B at all, not even as broken symlinks.
+The same happens if I manually copy files from A to S. B is not updating the copy count in 'git annex whereis' until I manually sync on B.
+
+It would be great if B could automatically sync when S is changed, either file locations or contents.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Both computers' local repos were setup with annex assistant, and switched into indirect mode. The server contains git repo and file data. All systems, computers and server are set to manual in the preferred content mode.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+A is running Debian testing with git-annex 4.20130827, B and S are running Debian stable with the backports version of git-annex 4.20130815~bpo70+1. A and S are 64 bit, B is 32 bit. All are up to date.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+I tried this setup before with direct mode and different preferred content settings (A, B as client, S as backup or archive), and syncing of git and file data was working then.
+
+Despite being able to run 'sync' it is at least inconvenient to not have automatically updated file location information when I run the assistant. (I could then just run without it, but I had it happen to me that I setup a local repo w/o assistant, and when I ran assistant, expecting it would tell me "there are no local repos, would you like to create one?" it somehow automatically found the manually created one and started copying files. But that's another problem.)

+Direct or indirect mode does not make a difference. I created another setup like this, only different is direct mode, otherwise the same (in particular preferred content mode is manual). Result: Still no sync.

+ content="""
+If I create a setup like originally described with the only difference being S set to full backup mode, I see no change in sync behavior.
+
+In detail, what happens is: A gets files added. These changes are committed and synced. Because S is in full backup mode, the file content is also sent from A to S (this is different, but expected). However, B still does not sync until manually run. I would expect that B's manual mode only applies to file content (it is the preferred content setting), not to changes to the git repo, thus I'd expect git changes to sync to all involved (and accessible) repos.

+### Please describe the problem.
+Git-annex will constantly sync most(if not all) my files to box.com
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+1 - Use git-annex instead of Dropbox at work
+2 - Boot computer.
+3 - Watch it sync everything to box.com (even files i believe it has transferred each and every day for the last few months)
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+git-annex version: 4.20130827
+
+But i have never seen it work satisfactory in any version.
+
+Also, i have seen this is 10+ different clean git-annexes. So it isn't annex specific.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+I am going to add more debug to this bug constantly. (I intend to do a full 'git annex copy --to box.com --not --in box.com' daily, and see if the same files are transfered again and again)
+
+
+For now, i see a few different issues already:

+It seems like one of my repos dropped files by itself, my setup involved 3 distributed repos (non bare repos, not using assistant), A/B/C then one client died I've created another one in its place called D cloned from B and marked C as dead. I have now A/B/D. I have updated files in A synced it to D (central) I then tried dropping unused, it listed none (I've dropped the files from A which has full copy) at this point I thought B did not sync to it maybe thats why it did not drop them. I went home sync my laptop B (B dropped its share of unused files) but cental D still show no unused.

+A-D has full copies of the repo
+B has partial.

+**EDIT: Mistakenly posted this thread in the forum. I created a new post in [[todo|todo/Bittorrent-like_features]]
Do you think it would be possible to have bittorrent-like transfers between remotes, so that no one remote gets pegged too hard with transfers? It would be great if you distribute your files between multiple bandwidth-capped remotes, and want fast down speed. Obviously, this isn't a simple task, but the protocol is already there, it just needs to be adapted for the purpose (and re-written in Haskell...). Maybe some day in the future after the more important stuff gets taken care of? It could be an enticing stretch goal.

+Hi!
+
+I can't get git-annex to run on my archlinuxARM sytem. It fails with
+
+ $ git annex test
+ error: git-annex died of signal 11
+
+ Its a RaspberryPi (model B I think) so its an ARM11 (armv6h if I'm not mistaken). I use archlinuxarm because I am familiar with the distribution and you can have a very lean system. There is a very crude package for git-annex arm and armv7 that is build like this: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/alarm/git-annex/PKGBUILD . Crude, because it just takes the debian package, changes the version of libraries where apropriate and packs it as archlinux package. Two problems: 1) It's not been tested on armv6. 2) The 4.20130417 version does not exist anymore on the debian mirrors.
+
+1. The debian package is not marked as armv5 or armv7 specific and is runs on the RaspberryPi with Raspbian (but in an pretty old version if I remember correctly). So I would have imagined it runs on armv6h in general.\\
+2. I just did the same magic as in the linked PKGBUILD with a more current version to build the package but it still crashes. Can I get the old version anywhere to check if it works with that?
+
+
+Cheers,
+ Hannes
+
+Background for whoever's interested :)
+I tried to set up a RaspberryPi to manage my files, contacts and calendars. That shouts out loud for owncloud because of its convenience (caldav, carddav, webdav and a nice interface bundled together). However, compared to git-annex owncloud is unbearably slow (on an RaspberryPi) and lacks git-annex's easy way to keep your files sorted even if you don't have them on your local disk.
+
+For these reasons I tried to install a hybrid git-annex/owncloud system. There, basically, the files are served by owncloud but at the same time also managed (and served) by git-annex (+ssh). As far as I can see that should not have any noticeable side effects in my use case (mostly single user). I have some external hard drives connected to the RaspberryPi of which I will just symlink the appropriate folders to the owncloud 'files' folder. This way I can also just take the drives with me and still have the same (UUID) git annex repository on them. Any comments?

+Scenario
+--------
+
+You are a new git-annex user. You have already files spread around many computers and wish to migrate those into git-annex, without having to recopy all files all over the place.
+
+Let's say, for example, you have a server, named `marcos` and a workstation named `angela`. You have your audio collection stored in `/srv/mp3` in `marcos` and `~/mp3` on `angela`, but only `marcos` has all the files, and `angela` only has a subset.
+
+We also assume that `marcos` has an SSH server.
+
+How do you add all this stuff to git-annex?
+
+Create the biggest git-annex repository
+---------------------------------------
+
+Start with `marcos`, with the complete directory:
+
+ cd /srv/mp3
+ git init
+ git annex init
+ git annex add .
+ git commit -m"git annex yay"
+
+This will checksum all files and add them to the `git-annex` branch of the git repository. Wait for this process to complete.
+
+Create the smaller repo and synchronise
+---------------------------------------
+
+On `angela`, we want to synchronise the git annex metadata with `marcos`. We need to initialize a git repo with `marcos` as a remote:
+
+ cd ~/mp3
+ git init
+ git remote add marcos marcos.example.com:/srv/mp3
+ git fetch marcos
+ git annex status # this should display the two repos
+ git annex add .
+
+This will, again, checksum all files and add them to git annex. Once that is done, you can verify that the files are really the same as marcos with `whereis`:
+
+ git annex whereis
+
+This should display something like:
+
+ whereis Orange Seeds/I remember.wav (2 copies)
+ b7802161-c984-4c9f-8d05-787a29c41cfe -- marcos (anarcat@marcos:/srv/mp3)
+ c2ca4a13-9a5f-461b-a44b-53255ed3e2f9 -- here (anarcat@angela)
+ ok
+
+Once you are sure things went on okay, you can synchronise this with `marcos`:
+
+ git annex sync
+
+This will push the metadata information to marcos, so it knows which files are available on `angela`. From there on, you can freely get and move files between the two repos!
+
+Importing files from a third directory
+--------------------------------------
+
+Say that some files on `angela` are actually spread out outside of the `~/mp3` directory. You can use the `git annex import` command to add those extra directories:
+
+ cd ~/mp3
+ git annex import ~/music/
+
+Deleting deleted files
+----------------------
+
+It is quite possible some files were removed (or renamed!) on `marcos` but not on `angela`, since it was synchronised only some time ago. A good way to find out about those files is to use the `--not --in` argument, for example, on `angela`:
+
+ git annex whereis --in here --not --in marcos
+
+This will show files that are on `angela` and not on `marcos`. They could be new files that were only added on `angela`, so be careful! A manual analysis is necessary, but let's say you are certain those files are not relevant anymore, you can delete them from `angela`:
+
+ git annex drop <file>
+
+If the file is a renamed or modified version from the original, you may need to use `--force`, but be careful! If you delete the wrong file, it will be lost forever!
+
+> (!) Maybe this wouldn't happen with [[direct mode]] and an fsck? --[[anarcat]]

+Scenario
+========
+
+You have a server where you want to welcome other people to push files, say for a family photo album. People have their own user account, so by default they will not be able to read/write from each other's repositories, due to git-annex strict restrictions.
+
+Solution
+========
+
+Setup a shared git repository:
+
+ git init shared ; cd shared # you can also do this on an existing git annex repo
+ git config core.sharedrepository group
+ chmod g+rwX -R .
+ chown -R :media .
+
+The idea here is to use the new (since [[news/version 4.20130909]]) support for git's `sharedRepository` configuration and restrict access to a specific group (instead of the default, a single user). You can also this to make the files accessible to all users on the system:
+
+ git config core.sharedrepository world
+ chmod a+rwX -R .
+
+This will make sure that you anyone can operate that git annex repository remotely.
+
+Third party applications
+------------------------
+
+Now if another application that is not aware of git's `sharedRepository` configuration (say a [[bittorrent]] daemon) writes files there, you may want to make sure that the files created are also writable by everyone. This is more tricky, but one way of doing this is with the [[!wikipedia setgid]] bit:
+
+ find -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
+
+You will also need to start the process with a proper [[!wikipedia umask]] (`002` instead of `022`).

-I made an oops and created a wishlist thread in the forum regarding bittorrent-like behaviour. Sorry, my bad.
+There are two different possible ways git-annex could use bittorrent:
-Here's the original thread:
-http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/Wishlist:_Bittorrent-like_transfers/
+Let's describe those one by one.
-I think I summed up pretty well what bittorrent-like features could be added to git-annex in one of the posts, so I'll copy and paste some of it here (with slight clarifications added in).
+[[!toc]]
->Disclaimer: I'm thinking out loud of what could make git-annex even more awesome. I don't expect this to be implemented any time soon. Please pardon any dumbassery.
+Downloading files from multiple git-annex sources simultaneously
+================================================================
->Having your remotes (optionally!) act like a swarm would be an awesome feature to have because you bring in a lot of new features that optimize storage, bandwidth, and overall traffic usage. This would be made a lot easier if parts of it were implemented in small steps that added a nifty feature. The best part is, each of these could be implemented by themselves, and they're all features that would be really useful.
->
->Step 1. Concurrent downloads of a file from remotes.
->
->This would make sense to have, it saves upload traffic on your remotes, and you also get faster DL speeds on the receiving end.
->
->Step 2. Implementing part of the super-seeding capabilities.
->
->You upload pieces of a file to different remotes from your laptop, and on your desktop you can download all those pieces and put them together again to get a complete file. If you really wanted to get fancy, you could build in redundancy (ala RAID) so if a remote or two gets lost, you don't lose the entire file. This would be a very efficient use of storage if you have a bunch of free cloud storage accounts (~1GB each) and some big files you want to back up.
->
->Step 3. Setting it up so that those remotes could talk to one another and share those pieces.
->
->This is where it gets more like bittorrent. Useful because you upload 1 copy and in a few hours, have say, 5 complete copies on 5 different remotes. You could add or remove remotes from a swarm locally, and push those changes to those remotes, which then adapt themselves to suit the new rules and share those with other remotes in the swarm (rules should be GPG-signed as a safety precaution). Also, if/when deltas get implemented, you could push that delta to the swarm and have all the remotes adopt it. This is cooler than regular bittorrent because the shared file can be updated. As a safety precaution, the delta could be GPG signed so a corrupt file doesn't contaminate the entire swarm. Each remote could have bandwidth/storage limits set in a dotfile.
->
->This is a high-level idea of how it might work, and it's also a HUGE set of features to add, but if implemented, you'd be saving a ton of resources, adding new use cases, and making git-annex more flexible.

-And this:
+ 1. Concurrent downloads of a file from remotes.
->Obviously, Step 3 would only work on remotes that you have control of processes on, but if given login credentials to cloud storage remotes (potentially dangerous!) they could read/write to something like dropbox or rsync.
->
->Another thing, this would be completely trackerless. You just use remote groups (or create swarm definitions) and share those with your remotes. **It's completely decentralized!**

+
+This was originally posted [[as a forum post|forum/Wishlist:_Bittorrent-like_transfers]] by [[users/GLITTAH]].
+
+Using an external client (addurl torrent support)
+=================================================
+
+The alternative to this would be to add `addurl` support for bittorrent files. The same way we can now add Youtube videos to a git-annex repository thanks to [[quvi]], we could also simply do:
+
+ git annex addtorrent debian-live-7.0.0-amd64-standard.iso.torrent
+
+or even better:
+
+ git annex addurl http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/debian-live-7.0.0-amd64-standard.iso.torrent
+
+This way, a torrent would just become another source for a specific file. When we `get` the file, it fires up `$YOUR_FAVORITE_TORRENT_CLIENT` to download the file.
+
+That way we avoid the implementation complexity of shoving a complete bittorrent client within the assistant. The `get` operation would block until the torrent is downloaded, i guess... --[[anarcat]]

+We had some informal discussions on IRC about improving the output of the `whereis` command.
+
+[[!toc levels=2]]
+
+First version: columns
+======================
+
+[[mastensg]] started by implementing a [simple formatter](https://gist.github.com/mastensg/6500982) that would display things in columns [screenshot](http://www.ping.uio.no/~mastensg/whereis.png)
+
+Second version: Xs
+==================
+
+After some suggestions from [[joey]], [[mastensg]] changed the format slightly ([screenshot](http://www.ping.uio.no/~mastensg/whereis2.png)):
+
+[[!format txt """
+17:01:34 <joeyh> foo
+17:01:34 <joeyh> |bar

+17:02:09 * joeyh does a s/\?/+/ in the above
+17:02:24 <joeyh> and decrements the counters for untrusted
+17:03:37 <joeyh> __x 0+! maybemissing
+"""]]
+
+Third version: incremental
+==========================
+
+Finally, [[anarcat]] worked on making it run faster on large repositories, in a [fork](https://gist.github.com/anarcat/6502988) of that first gist. Then paging was added (so headers are repeated).
+
+Fourth version: tuning and blocked
+==================================
+
+[[TobiasTheViking]] provided some bugfixes, and the next step was to implement the trusted/untrusted detection, and have a counter.
+
+This required more advanced parsing of the remotes, and instead of starting to do some JSON parsing, [[anarcat]] figured it was time to learn some Haskell instead.
+
+Current status: needs merge
+===========================
+
+So right now, the most recent version of the python script is in [anarcat's gist](https://gist.github.com/anarcat/6502988) and works reasonably well. However, it doesn't distinguish between trusted and untrusted repos and so on.
+
+Furthermore, we'd like to see this factored into the `whereis` command directly. A [raw.hs](http://codepad.org/miVJb5oK) file has been programmed by `mastensg`, and is now available in the above gist. It fits the desired output and prototypes, and has been `haskellized` thanks to [[guilhem]].
+
+Now we just need to merge those marvelous functions in `Whereis.hs` - but I can't quite figure out where to throw that code, so I'll leave it to someone more familiar with the internals of git-annex. The most recent version is still in [anarcat's gist](https://gist.github.com/anarcat/6502988). --[[anarcat]]
+
+Desired output
+--------------
+
+The output we're aiming for is:
+
+ foo
+ |bar
+ ||baz (untrusted)
+ |||
+ XXx 2+ img.png
+ _X_ 1! bigfile
+ XX_ 2 zort
+ __x 0+! maybemissing
+
+Legend:
+
+ * `_` - file missing from repo
+ * `x` - file may be present in untrusted repo
+ * `X` - file is present in trusted repo
+ * `[0-9]` - number of copies present in trusted repos
+ * `+` - indicates there may be more copies present
+ * `!` - indicates only one copy is left
+
+Implementation notes
