Excluding folders (after initial sync) not supported?

[cannondale0815]

I decided that I wanted to start excluding a few not-so-important folders where data gets changed frequently, so as to avoid snapraid from complaining about files being modified during a sync.

This is what I added to the snapraid.conf:

exclude /mnt/Disk1/Downloads/_Incomplete/

But I am still getting a few of the following complaints when syncing:

Unexpected time change at file '/mnt/Disk1/Downloads/_Incomplete/testfile' from 1400927640.718450929 to 1400936586.678216430.
WARNING! You cannot modify files during a sync.

What am I doing wrong? I also already tried a scrub, but that didn't help either.

If you have your disk defined as:

disk d1 /mnt/Disk1/

Then try changing your exclude to:

exclude /Downloads/_Incomplete/

Indeed that was the issue. Now I understand what this comment means in the config file:

# Remember that all the paths are relative at the mount points

Thanks Mike!
