My experience has been on macOS and Windows, slow both ways. I haven’t used it on Linux.
On macOS FSEvents or kqueue can be used, I’m not sure which one is used. They are definitely using a notification mechanism though, otherwise changes won’t even happen in 15s.
- StavrosK 7y agoHave you checked "Monitor filesystem for changes" in the config? It polls if you don't do that, and I think it doesn't get checked by default, but I'm not sure.
- oefrha 7y agoYes, "watch for changes" is on for all my synced directories, and on by default. According to https://docs.syncthing.net/users/syncing.html https://docs.syncthing.net/users/syncing.html > There are two methods how Syncthing detects changes: By regular full scans and by notifications received from the filesystem (“watcher”). By default the watcher is enabled and full scans are done once per hour.
