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.
Before this change it was setting the modification times of the things
that the symlinks pointed to.
Note that this is only implemented for unix style OSes. Other OSes
will not attempt to set the modification time of a symlink.
Before this change on Windows, files copied locally could become
heavily fragmented (300+ fragments for maybe 100 MB), no matter how
much contiguous free space there was (even if it's over 1TiB). This
can needlessly yet severely adversely affect performance on hard
disks.
This changes uses NtSetInformationFile to pre-allocate the space to
avoid this.
It does nothing on other OSes other than Windows.
This was causing errors which looked like this when copying a file to
the root of a drive:
mkdir \\?: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
This was caused by an incorrect path splitting routine which was
removing \ of the end of UNC paths when it shouldn't have been. Fixed
by using the standard library `filepath.Dir` instead.
This unifies the 3 methods of reading config
* command line
* environment variable
* config file
And allows them all to be configured in all places. This is done by
making the []fs.Option in the backend registration be the master
source of what the backend options are.
The backend changes are:
* Use the new configmap.Mapper parameter
* Use configstruct to parse it into an Options struct
* Add all config to []fs.Option including defaults and help
* Remove all uses of pflag
* Remove all uses of config.FileGet
Before this commit rclone's handling of symlinks and junction points
under Windows was broken. rclone treated them as files and attempted
to transfer them which gave the error "The handle is invalid".
Ultimately the cause of this was 3e43ff7414 which was a
workaround so files with reparse points (which are a kind of symlink)
would transfer correctly.
The solution implemented is to revert the above commit which will mean
that #614 will break again. However there is now a work-around (which
will be signaled by rclone) to use the -L flag which wasn't available
when the original commit was made.
Fixes#2336
* Implement about for:
* local, crypt, cache, drive, swift, hubic, onedrive, pcloud, dropbox
* Implement `--json` and `---full` flag for `rclone about`
* change About interface to return a Usage structure
* Remove operations.About as it is too thin an interface
* Implement Integration test
Relates to #1138 and #1564
