SmartScan Readiness Warning
SmartScan is a feature of ChronoSync that speeds up the overall scan time of any local internal or external, macOS-formatted volumes. It works by examining the macOS-maintained FSEvents Database. We have found that starting with the release of macOS Monterey, the FSEvents database doesn’t seem to be working the same way it has in the past.
To help our customers get the full advantage of SmartScan, we display a Readiness Warning to indicate that SmartScan is not working reliably when connecting to local targets with ‘Mounted Volumes’.
To get the full benefit of SmartScan, look in each ‘Target’ pane on the Setup Panel of your Sync Task. Change the ‘Connect to:’ popup menu from ‘Mounted Volumes’ to ‘Mounted Volumes(Admin Access)’. If both targets are internal/external macOS-formatted volumes, do it for both targets.
This will resolve the Readiness Warning. SmartScan will start working again after the next full run of your Sync Task.
