|
|
After performing successfully an automed full resync I get these errors in the vvengine log:
Code: | [ERROR] Error reading VVEngine incremental file: 'C:\Users\Rix\AppData\Roaming\VVEngine\C0D76A9C-59191D3A-22222522-FCFA46A0-D4BFD657.vv.txt '. Invalid line: '<|>1<|>0<|>e:\Users\Rix\Desktop\Tomato settings\[Tomato] VPN'. |
What does it mean? |

I see that a file has an unknown character in the filename. Could this be the cause? Maybe you could skip the offending file and continue alerting user? |

renaming the file on both sides solved the problem. I would revise vv to allow special characters in filename! If it is accepted by the filesystem, why should VV halt when dealing with those special characters? |

Hi, what special character was in the file name that gave the error? ViceVersa and VVEngine support any character in file names that is supported by Windows... thanks _________________ --

Unfortunatelly I didn't check what character was, something like a "square" □...
If it will happen again I will report it here |

Same error today after a successful full resync:
Code: | [ERROR] Error reading VVEngine incremental file: 'C:\Users\Rix\AppData\Roaming\VVEngine\898F3967-11B5E3FE-B3766980-AAD0F002-F7E763C3.vv.txt '. Invalid line: '<|>1<|>0<|>e:\Users\Rix\Desktop\Tomato settings\[Tomato] VPN'. |
Found a file name within the folder with an offending name:
Code: | [Tomato] VPN:PPTP Online |
This is a bug within Viceversa, as I did not modify folder contents for a while. It looks like VV is spoiling the filename during the copy ** OR ** something is wrong in the incremental file?

BTW in the same folder it does exist a copy of the offending file, with a correct filename. I believe something is wrong in the incremental file. Corruption somewhere? |

Using a disk tool I could inspect the MFT. Here's the content regarding the offending file name:
Code: |
Offset | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 - 8 9 A B C D E F | ASCII
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
00C0011560 | 5B 00 54 00 6F 00 | [.T.o.
00C0011570 | 6D 00 61 00 74 00 6F 00 5D 00 20 00 56 00 50 00 | m.a.t.o.]. .V.P.
00C0011580 | 4E 00 1A FF 50 00 50 00 54 00 50 00 20 00 4F 00 | N...P.P.T.P. .O.
00C0011590 | 6E 00 6C 00 69 00 6E 00 65 00 2E 00 70 00 64 00 | n.l.i.n.e...p.d.
00C00115A0 | 66 | f
|
The wrong sequence seems to be
at offset
where high value (FF) is in place of '00' and 1A is probably wrong anyway |

Hi, it kooks like the Unicode character FF1A is causing the problem to the incremental file, see:
Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UFF00.pdf
FF1A is a FULLWIDTH COLON of the set Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms (chars are swapped when viewed in little endian systems, e.g. is stored as 1A FF) Usually just 003A is used for the Colon character. Do you know why this character is used instead for this file?
thanks

Do you mean what character? In this case, the character being used in underscore |

Was just wondering why was this character used, the FULLWIDTH COLON of the set Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms, instead of the standard Colon character. Replacing the character with a standard Colon character would be a quick solution if that is possible ... _________________ --

It wasn't me that used the offending character, it was Viceversa that created/renamed incorrectly the file, using the offending character
To clarify:
1) one of the folders being synchronized by VV, contains multiple files:
Code: | Volume in drive E is Aiace Data
Volume Serial Number is 000A-D93B
Directory of E:\Users\Rix\Desktop\Tomato settings
14-01-2014 08:17 <DIR> .

2) One of those files got the filename spoiled by VV
3) VV changed the proper filename, replacing "underscore" with "1A FF" |

Thanks, so to recap, you have a profile that is monitoring both source and target folders for file changes. At a certain point character 1A FF appears in the source file "VPN_PPTP Online" after being copied from target and then a change is detected in that file and the Incremental file complains about this character.
One last question to complete the puzzle.... using the same disk tool to inspect the MFT can you look at what character code is in the same file on the target at the same position instead of 1A FF? Which character code is there instead of 1A FF ?
thank you! _________________ --
