![]() ![]() The 2.3.0 version that is available at for the Drobo 5N has been corrected, and you should be now able to install it to your Drobo. Therefore, at this point, updating the "old way," as your post noted, is the only way to get the latest version of Sync. In fact, if that version is older than the version running on your Drobo, the result will be to downgrade sync to the version on the update server. The link will install the version of Sync that is specified by that server, and not the latest Drobo Sync version that is available via the website. How can I update to the latest BitTorrent Sync "Update" link points to a version of Sync that is specified by the DroboApps Update Server. Whatever I do my Drobo5N is still running 2.0.138. ), and then restarting my Drobo5N and this has no effect. mounting the DroboApps share, copying the version 2.3 tarball I downloaded (i.e. I've also tried updating the old way, i.e. Whatever I seem to do Im, still at version 2.0.138. I've tried stopping the processes, then updating, and finally restarting. If I click update again then the same happens, and the version is not updated. In the DroboApps section of my Drobo Dashboard I click the "Update" link for BitTorrent sync and it tells me that it's updating, after a while the updating disappears however the version of BitTorrent Sync running my my Drobo5N is still 2.0.138 and the link to Update is still present. I've been trying to update the client so that I can try out the encrypted folders however I'm having problems updating the version. Now I realise a lot of this may be difficult to follow if you are new to all of this.The version of sync running on my Drobo5N reports itself as version 2.0.138 (36) and according to the Drobo5N page ( ) the latest version is 2.3.0. Having said that the BTSync software is becoming more memory effecient with every releaseĪ higher spec alternative to the RPi is the Humming Board. But to be honest the Drobo 5N only has 1GB of RAM so it's also not very happy with indexing millions of files. The issue with a RPi is the limited RAM - BTSync indexing millions of files will chew up system memory, so the RPi option is not good for syncing of massive directory trees (500,000 + files). If money is no object grab something like an Intel NUC or even a Mac Mini. What I would recommend is attaching the 5big directly to an always on server, installing BTSync on that server and syncing the Drobo data to locations on the external 5big. In theory you should be able to install and run software compiled with the appropriate Linux binary, but as far as I know this would require custom modification of the 5big firmware - which I would not recommend if your experience is limited. The built in OS runs on the Linux kernel. Go to your web browser and navigate to drobonetworkipaddress:8888 to access the BTSync web interface. ![]() Once you are sure everything is clean in the Drobo_Apps share go ahead and drop the latest btsync.tgz in there and either restart your 5N or issue the command via ssh: Then access your Drobo_Apps network share via ssh or sftp and make sure that the btsync folder has been removed. Do this by first opening up the Drobo Dashboard, going to the Drobo Apps section and clicking uninstall for BTSync. Ok, I'm not sure what issues you are having exactly but I recommend uninstalling BTSync on the Drobo. ![]() For some reason the forum notification email went to my junk folder. ![]()
