Create a full loop of documentation for rclone about, backends overview
and individual backend pages.
Discussion:
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4774 relates
Previously pull was requested, in part, under ref
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4801
Notes:
Introduce a tentative draft see-link format the end of sections to try
rather than lots of in-para links.
Update about.go incl link to list of backends not supporting about.
In list of backends not supporting about, include link to about command
reference.
I appreciate there may be decisions to make going forward about whether
command links should be code formatted, and using proper pretty url
links, but I have fudged that for now.
Update backend pages that do not support about with wording used
previously for ftp - it is in passive voice but I can live with it. (my
own wording and fault). The note is applied to a limitations section. If
one does not already exist it is created (even if there are other
limitations with their own sections)
This is done by making fs.Config private and attaching it to the
context instead.
The Config should be obtained with fs.GetConfig and fs.AddConfig
should be used to get a new mutable config that can be changed.
This shouldn't be read as encouraging the use of math/rand instead of
crypto/rand in security sensitive contexts, rather as a safer default
if that does happen by accident.
This caches all the objects returned from the List call. This makes
opening them much quicker so speeds up prune and restores. It also
uses fewer transactions. It can be disabled with
`--cache-objects=false`.
This was discovered when using the B2 backend when the budget was
being blown on list object calls which can avoided with a bit of
caching.
For typical 1 million file backup for a latop or server this will only
use a small amount more memory.
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.
It turns out that NFS calls mknod in FUSE even though we have create
defined. This was causing EIO errors when creating files.
This patch fixes it by implementing mknod. The way it is implemented
means that to write to an NFS file system you'll need --vfs-cache-mode
writes.
Before this change
RCLONE_DRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE=111M rclone help flags | grep drive-chunk-size
Would show the default value, not the setting of RCLONE_DRIVE_CHUNK_SIZE
as the non backend flags do.
This change makes it work as expected by setting the default of the
option to the environment variable.
Fixes#4659
Adds a flag, --progress-terminal-title, that when used with --progress,
will print the string `ETA: %s` to the terminal title.
This also adds WriteTerminalTitle to lib/terminal
This was accidentally removed when refactoring check and cryptcheck in
8b6f2bbb4b check,cryptcheck: add reporting of filenames for same/missing/changed #3264
`rclone obscure` currently only accepts a command line argument of `password` to generate
an obfuscated password. This is an issue since generating obfuscated passwords programatically
requires sending the plain text password as a shell argument, which can cause problems if the
password contains shell characters, or if the password is from an untrusted source.
This patch opens up STDIN which will allow developers to open the STDIN source and print a password
directly to `rclone obscure`, which can increase safety and convenince.
This is preparation for getting the Accounting to check the context,
buf first we need to get it in place. Since this is one of those
changes that makes lots of noise, this is in a seperate commit.
Before this change if the user supplied `-o uid=XXX` then rclone would
write `-o uid=-1 -o uid=XXX` so duplicating the uid value.
After this change rclone doesn't write the default `-1` version.
This fix affects `uid` and `gid`.

This patch enables rclone to be used as a library from within restic

Before this change when reading directories we would use the directory
handle and the Readdir(-1) call on the directory handle. This worked
fine for the first read, but if the directory was read again on the
same handle Readdir(-1) returns nothing (as per its design).
It turns out that macOS leaves the directory handle open and just
re-reads the data from it, so this problem causes directories to start
out full then subsequently appear empty.
macOS/OSXFUSE is passing an offset of 0 to the Readdir call telling
rclone to seek in the directory, but we've told FUSE that we can't
seek by always returning ofst=0 in the fill function.
This fix works around the problem by reading the directory from the
path each time, ignoring the actual handle. This should be no less
efficient.
We will return an ESPIPE if offset is ever non 0.
There are possible corner cases reading deleted directories which this
ignores.
This uses the refactored goftp library which doesn't include the minio
driver. This reduces the binary size by 1.5MB

It is a source of confusion for users that `rclone mkdir` on a remote
which can't have empty directories such as s3/b2 does nothing.
This emits a warning at NOTICE level if the user tries to mkdir a
directory not at the root for a remote which can't have empty
directories.

- Use Driver.CheckPasswd instead of server.CheckPasswd
- Make server.CheckPasswd return an error
- Remove awful findID to find parent function hack
- Remove Driver.Init as it is no longer called
- Fix backwards incompatible PublicIp -> PublicIP change
See: https://gitea.com/goftp/server/issues/117
Otherwise, we get en dashes in the man page, making args more difficult
to copy/paste to a command line.
Before:
Use –addr to specify ...
After:
Use --addr to specify ...
This adds expire and unlink fields to the PublicLink interface.
This fixes up the affected backends and removes unlink parameters
where they are present.
This limit was previously 4k set in 59026c4761 however leaf
names above 1k now produce an IO error.
WinFSP seems to have its own method for dropping too long file names
above 255 long.
When wrapping a backend that supports Server Side Copy (e.g. `b2`, `s3`)
and configuring the `tmp_upload_path` option, the `cache` backend would
erroneously report that Server Side Copy/Move was not supported, causing
operations such as file moves to fail. This change fixes this issue
under these circumstances such that Server Side Copy will now be used
when the wrapped backend supports it.
Fixes#3206
Before this change there was some ambiguity about whether passwords
were obscured on not passing them into config create or config update.
This change adds the --obscure and --no-obscure flags to make the
intent clear.
It also updates the remote control and the tests.
Fixes#3728
