    SnapRAID v8.1 has been released at :

    http://snapraid.sourceforge.net/
    

    SnapRAID is a backup program for a disk array.

    SnapRAID stores parity information in the disk array,
    and it allows recovering from up to six disk failures.

    This is the list of changes:
    * Fix build issues in generic Unix platforms, including Mac OS X.
    * The "diff" command returns with error code 2 if a "sync" is
    required, to differentiate with the generic error code 1.
    * Reduced the effect of SMART attribute 193 on the failure
    probability to avoid some false positive reports.

    I noticed the logfile (snapraid.exe sync -l snaplog.txt) now produces verbose output by default. v7.1 did not do this.

    How do I disable that? I'm interested in the files it adds & deletes, but not all the default files it bypasses which is now shown (like hundreds of thumbs.db files)

    I'm also very interested to how to avoid the logging of all excluded files

    Hi Dimitar,

    The logging of excluded files is intentional to allow to identify filtering rules that exclude too many files.

    Ciao,
    Andrea

    Hi Andrea,
    I was asking about this logging change because the script I'm using (https://sourceforge.net/p/snapraid/discussion/1677233/thread/3afc8cb4/) produced a huge log file for no apparent reasons after I upgraded to 8.1 and it included a lot of rows with "excluded" files.
    Since then I've downloaded the updated version (thanks therealjmc) and I haven't experienced the problem ... I guess therealjmc found a way to suppress them.
