It was discovered on some Android systems, the stat size of a symlink
is different to the size that readlink returns.
This was giving errors like this
transport connection broken: http: ContentLength=30 with Body length 28
There are enough exceptions to the size of readlink being different to
the size of stat that this patch now always does readlink to work out
the size of a symlink.
Since symlinks are relatively uncommon this shouldn't affect
performance too much and will mean that the size is always correct.
This deprecates the --local-zero-size-links flag which is now
effectively always enabled.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/problem-with-symlinks-and-links/23840/
Some virtual filesystems (such as Google Drive File Stream) may
incorrectly set the actual file size equal to the preallocated space,
causing checksum and file size checks to fail.
This flag can be used to disable preallocation for local backends of
this type.
Assume the Stat size of links is zero (and read them instead)
On some virtual filesystems (such ash LucidLink), reading a link size via a
Stat call always returns 0.
However, on unix it reads as the length of the text in the link. This may
cause errors like this when syncing:
Failed to copy: corrupted on transfer: sizes differ 0 vs 13
Setting this flag causes rclone to read the link and use that as the size of
the link instead of 0 which in most cases fixes the problem.

Before this change a circular symlink would cause rclone to error out from the listings.
After this change rclone will skip a circular symlink and carry on the listing,
producing an error at the end.
Fixes#4743
This adds a context.Context parameter to NewFs and related calls.
This is necessary as part of reading config from the context -
backends need to be able to read the global config.
Before this change rclone returned the size from the Stat call of the
link. On Windows this reads as 0 always, however on unix it reads as
the length of the text in the link. This caused errors like this when
syncing:
Failed to copy: corrupted on transfer: sizes differ 0 vs 13
This change causes Windows platforms to read the link and use that as
the size of the link instead of 0 which fixes the problem.
- add a directory to the optional Purge interface
- fix up all the backends
- add an additional integration test to test for the feature
- use the new feature in operations.Purge
Many of the backends had been prepared in advance for this so the
change was trivial for them.
If this option is enabled, rclone will not set modtime of uploaded files and
the backend will return ModTimeNotSupported as its Precision.
Normally rclone updates modification time of files after they are done
uploading. This can cause permissions issues on Linux platforms when
rclone is copying to a CIFS mount where the user rclone is
running as does not own the file uploaded. If this option is enabled,
rclone will no longer update the modtime after copying a file.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/chtimes-error-on-local-mounted-copy/17784
Before this change the --local-no-updated flag would not error if the
files changed in size during the transfer. The file could still be
read beyond the size advertised though which caused problems with
certain backends.
After this change we attempt to provide a consistent view of the file
once it has been opened.
Once the file has had stat() called on it for the first time we
- Only transfer the size that stat gave
- Only checksum the size that stat gave
- Don't update the stat info for the file
This means that files that are extending can be transferred - rclone
will transfer the length it saw the first time it listed the file.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/transport-connection-broken/16494/21
Before this change the local backend was returning file not found
errors for post transfer hashes for files which were moved. This was
caused by the routine which checks for the object being changed.
After this change we ignore file not found errors while checking to
see if the object has changed. If the hash has to be computed then a
file not found error will be thrown when it is opened, otherwise the
cached hash will be returned.
Before this change rclone didn't use sparse files on Windows. This
means that when you downloaded a file with multithread download it
wrote the entire file with zeros first on the first write not at the
start of the file.
This change makes the file be sparse on Windows. Linux/macOS files
were already sparse.
For few commands, RClone counts a error multiple times. This was fixed by
creating a new error type which keeps a flag to remember if the error has
already been counted or not. The CountError function now wraps the original
error eith the above new error type and returns it.
Before this change, if the caller didn't provide a hint, we would
calculate all hashes for reads and writes.
The new whirlpool hash is particularly expensive and that has become noticeable.
Now we don't calculate any hashes on upload or download unless hints are provided.
This means that some operations may run slower and these will need to be discovered!
It does not affect anything calling operations.Copy which already puts
the corrects hints in.
Introduce stats groups that will isolate accounting for logically
different transferring operations. That way multiple accounting
operations can be done in parallel without interfering with each other
stats.
Using groups is optional. There is dedicated global stats that will be
used by default if no group is specified. This is operating mode for CLI
usage which is just fire and forget operation.
For running rclone as rc http server each request will create it's own
group. Also there is an option to specify your own group.
- Change rclone/fs interfaces to accept context.Context
- Update interface implementations to use context.Context
- Change top level usage to propagate context to lover level functions
Context propagation is needed for stopping transfers and passing other
request-scoped values.
Under Linux, rclone attempts to preallocate files for efficiency.
Before this change, pre-allocation would fail on ZFS with the error
Failed to pre-allocate: operation not supported
After this change rclone tries a different flag combination for ZFS
then disables pre-allocate if that doesn't work.
Fixes#3066
Before this change, rclone would return an error from the listing if
there was an unreadable directory, or if there was a problem stat-ing
a directory entry. This was frustrating because the command
completely aborts at that point when there is work it could do.
After this change rclone lists the directories and reports ERRORs for
unreadable directories or problems stat-ing files, but does return an
error from the listing. It does set the error flag which means the
command will fail (and objects won't be deleted with `rclone sync`).
This brings rclone's behaviour exactly in to line with rsync's
behaviour. It does as much as possible, but doesn't let the errors
pass silently.
Fixes#3179
Before this change we calculated all possible hashes for the file when
the `Hashes` method was called.
After we only calculate the Hash requested.
Almost all uses of `Hash` just need one checksum. This will slow down
`rclone lsjson` with the `--hash` flag. Perhaps lsjson should have a
`--hash-type` flag.
However it will speed up sync/copy/move/check/md5sum/sha1sum etc.
Before it took 12.4 seconds to md5sum a 1GB file, after it takes 3.1
seconds which is the same time the md5sum utility takes.
