Before this change the expect/continue timeout was set to
--conntimeout which was 60s by default which is too long to wait.
This was noticed when using s3 with a proxy which apparently didn't
support expect / continue properly.
Set --expect-continue-timeout 0 to disable expect/continue.
from rsync manual:
--compare-dest=DIR
This option instructs rsync to use DIR on the destination machine as an
additional hierarchy to compare destination files against doing transfers
(if the files are missing in the destination directory). If a file is found
in DIR that is identical to the sender's file, the file will NOT be
transferred to the destination directory. This is useful for creating
a sparse backup of just files that have changed from an earlier backup.
--copy-dest=DIR
This option behaves like --compare-dest, but rsync will also copy unchanged
files found in DIR to the destination directory using a local copy.
This is useful for doing transfers to a new destination while leaving
existing files intact, and then doing a flash-cutover when all files
have been successfully transferred.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/rc-rc-job-expire-interval-bug/11188
rclone was ignoring the --rc-job-expire-duration and --rc-job-interval
flags. This turned out to be an initialization order problem and was
fixed by moving those flags out of global config into rc config.
This replaces the `sync.Pool` allocator with lib/pool. This
implements a pool of buffers of up to 64MB which can be re-used but is
flushed every 5 seconds.
If `--use-mmap` is set then rclone will use mmap for memory
allocations which is much better at returning memory to the OS.
Cookies are handled by cookiejar in memory with fshttp module through
the entire session.
One useful scenario is, with HTTP storage system where index server
adds authentication cookie while redirecting to CDN for actual files.
Also, it can be helpful to reuse fshttp in other storage systems
requiring cookie.
The --no-traverse flag was not implemented when the new sync routines
(using the march package) was implemented.
This re-implements --no-traverse in march by trying to find a match
for each object with NewObject rather than from a directory listing.
--max-backlog controls the queue length.
Add statistics for the check/upload/rename queues.
This means that checking can complete before the uploads which will
give rclone the ability to show exactly what is outstanding.
The purpose of this is to make it easier to maintain and eventually to
allow the rclone backends to be re-used in other projects without
having to use the rclone configuration system.
The new code layout is documented in CONTRIBUTING.
