Solution
After running the debug flow commands if the below output generates:
(root) # secondary's external files are not in sync with the primary's, sequence:0. (type EXTERNAL_RESOURCE) # secondary's external files are not in sync with the primary's, sequence:1. (type EXTERNAL_RESOURCE (root) # secondary's external files are not in sync with the primary's, sequence:2. (type EXTERNAL_RESOURCE) secondary's external files are not in sync with the primary's, sequence:3. (type EXTERNAL_RESOURCE) secondary's external files are not in sync with the primary's, sequence:4. (type EXTERNAL_RESOURCE)
The above message shows current main/standby devices are not synced, and the system starts to sync them now.
The message is still appearing cause the main side downloads a new file again, which will trigger the new sync cycle.
