+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.
+
+At this point I checked out a old commit from a week ago, checked where the links for the files are pointing to, they point to no where files are not there. Repo sized reported with du -hcs show both repos are the same size (132GB) looks like D managed to drop unused files by itself. I am wondering what caused this?
+
+My annex version is,
+
+git-annex version: 4.20130902-g307537a
+
+on all clients.

+Thanks for your helpful comment.I add the path to windows, and the
+problem disappears now.
+But I meet another problem when I download the data using git annex.
+I use the command \"git annex get foo.nc\" to download data. The foo.nc
+is actually symlink. For example:
+foo.nc -> ../../.git/annex/objects/jK/v7/WORM-s16009120-m1337754158--
+foo.nc/WORM-s16009120-m1337754158--foo.nc
+Could you help me to figure it out?
+Thank you.
+
+The erro information when using git annex in Windows, is as below:
+
+$ git annex get tau.nc
+ 
+   Detected a crippled filesystem.
+
+   Enabling direct mode.
+
+   Detected a filesystem without fifo support.

+In addition, because the file is actually symlink direct to the data stored in Amazon S3
+How could I get the URL, given the symlink for git annex. For example:

+When syncing with a huge git annex repository on usb disk, my small laptop partition runs out of inodes.
+
+Any workaround for this?
+
+- Use bare repository?
+
+    Some git annex command are not supported.
+    This makes managing (particularly adding) files difficult.
+
+- Use a loop file partition with tiny block size and large inode numbers?
+
+    Operations on a huge git repository are slow.

+
+- Maybe shrink the partition and make room for a specific partition for git annex repository?

+Hello,
+
+I use the assistant to set up two repositories A and B synced using jabber. A third repository C on my server is used as rsync transfer. Syncing works fine between both repos when both are online.
+
+But when either A or B is offline the sync does not happen when it comes online again, though the file was synced to C.
+
+Is this because C is only a rsync repository and can't hold metadata? How can I achieve that the sync happens also when one of the repositories is offline?
+
+I also tried using the static build of git annex on my server. It seemed to run fine but during the setup the assistant got an error about too many command line arguments. On A und B I use the ArchLinux AUR build (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-annex-standalone/), on C I use the static build. Could it be a version mismatch?
+
+Thanks!

+**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?

+Let's suppose that I've manually modified files in .git/annex/objects,
+for example I ran an rsync or some other file synchronization software
+to copy files. As a result, some objects have disappeared, others have
+appeared. After that `git annex whereis .' displays stale information,
+it doesn't take the manual modifications to accound. `git annex fsck'
+seems to fix this, but it runs the rehashing of all new files, so it's

+Only played a tiny bit with this since the initial post.
+
+I've decided that sql backend should be dropped entirely. Mostly the SQL backend was there because the code does something else entirely, and this was just a test.
+
+But since there has been no interest it will probably take ages before i actually get this finished :)
