Find some bug.
I use seafile for sync files on my work desktop and server with node js (meteorjs).
Desktop OS Windows 10 and Seafile client 6.0.4
Server OS Ubuntu 16.04 and seaf-cli client
Everything work at start, but then i start my meteorjs application, updates maked on my desktop stop to sync to server with meteorjs (but they normally sync to seafile cloud).
If i change something in files on server with meteorjs, this will be synced to seafile cloud and all previous changes come to server.
Some info about meteorjs , it’s node js framework and then it start , it watch for application file changes and restart node application. I think here some conflict between this meteor watcher and seaf-cli watcher. Meteorjs use inotify for monitoring file changes.
Some additional info, then meteor app is running, and sync not coming to my seaf-cli, i have this messages in log,
it add ~every 10 seconds:

Not sure how is meteorjs watcher implemented. But one possible way to fix the problem you described is to set the library to be checked periodically: in the seafile client main window, right click on your library => choose “set sync interval”.
