Bug#752208: [unison-gtk] Doesn't synchronize windows fat subfolders



Control: tags -1 + moreinfo
Control: severity -1 important
Control: retitle -1 unison fails to synchronize FS modified under Windows

Hi,

According to the documentation, only file timestamps are
used, not directory timestamps, and fastchecks can be disabled:

  https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/download/releases/stable/unison-manual.html#fastcheck

I'm reducing the severity to “important”, given that:
- the issue only occurs in a very specific corner-case:
  a FS modified under Windows is subsequently mounted on Linux
  and synchronized from there (with the default fastcheck setting);
- the issue can be easily worked around by disabling fastcheck.


I tested using a Windows 8 VM and a FAT32 volume that I shared with
my Linux host, and was able to synchronize properly with fastcheck
disabled.

Could you confirm that this was the issue you encountered (your initial
bug report was a bit unclear) and that disabling fastcheck indeed solves
it?


Best,

  nicoo
