This is what I wrote to Digital Ocean support on July 10, 2020 - alas
it didn't result in the rate limits dropping, so reluctantly I'm going
to remove DO from the integration tests since they never pass and have
no hope of ever passing while this rate limit is in effect.
----
Somewhere towards the end of June 2020 or the start of July 2020 my
integration tests between rclone ( https://rclone.org ) and Digital
Ocean started failing.
I tried moving the tests to different regions (currently they are
using AMS1 because I'm in Europe) with no improvement.
Rclone seems to be hitting this rate limit as documented here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/#limits
- 2 COPYs per 5 minutes on any individual object in a Space
Rclone creates small objects about 100 bytes in size and renames them
a few times - this involves using the COPY call as S3 does not have a
rename API. The tests do this more than twice per object so hit the 5
minute timeout I think. Rclone does exponential backoff and fails
after 10 retries not having reached 5 minutes delay after 10 retries.
Having a 5 minute lockout on an S3 compatible API is surprising!
Rclone integration tests with about 30 other providers, none of which
have a rate limit like this.
I understand the need for a COPY rate limit as server side copying
large files can be resource intensive. However a 5 minute lockout for
copying 100 byte files seems excessive!
Might I humbly suggest that you reduce or eliminate this rate limit
for small files?

This was the reply
Unfortunately it is not possible to raise this limit or remove it
currently on our platform. I do see how this would interfere with type
of applications that need to copy many small files and will be happy
to take the feedback to our engineering team to see how we can improve
the spaces system in the future
Before this change we errored out if one upstream errored in Purge or
About.
This change checks for fs.ErrorDirNotFound and skips that backend in
this case.
Before this change the background writing of the file was racing with
the test of the object on the remote.
This meant that the tests passed locally but failed on a lot of the
remotes.
Before this change we didn't check the file exists before renaming it,
setting its modification time or deleting it. If the file isn't in the
cache we don't need to do the action since it has been done on the
actual object, so these errors were producing unecessary log messages.
This change checks to see if the file exists first before doing those
actions.
Uplink v1.2.0 comes with two improvements related to rclone:
* Fix for resource leak in uploads.
* The socket dialer comes with better congestion control in some
environments. On Linux environments, if a congestion controller named
'ledbat' is installed, it will be used. Consider installing

Allows to compress short arbitrary strings and returns a string using base64 url encoding.
Generator for tables included and a few samples has been added. Add more to init.go
Tested with fuzzing for crash resistance and symmetry, see fuzz.go
The go team made the decision to drop support for 32 bit macOS as 32
bit apps are no longer supported by macOS and 32 bit hardware hasn't
been produced by Apple for over 10 years.
1. adds SharedOptions data structure to oauthutil
2. adds config.ConfigToken option to oauthutil.SharedOptions
3. updates the backends that have oauth functionality
Fixes#2849
Before this fix, download threads would fill up the buffer and then
timeout even though data was still being read from them. If the client
was streaming slower than network speed this caused the downloader to
stop and be restarted continuously. This caused more potential for
skips in the download and unecessary network transactions.
This patch fixes that behaviour - as long as a downloader is being
read from more often than once every 5 seconds, it won't timeout.
This was done by:
- kicking the downloader whenever ensureDownloader is called
- making the downloader loop if it has already downloaded past the maxOffset
- making setRange() always kick the downloader
The deadlock was caused in transfermap.go by calling mu.RLock() in one
function then calling it again in a sub function. Normally this is
fine, however this leaves a window where mu.Lock() can be called. When
mu.Lock() is called it doesn't allow the second mu.RLock() and
deadlocks.
Thead 1 Thread 2
String():mu.RLock()
del():mu.Lock()
sortedSlice():mu.RLock() - DEADLOCK
Lesson learnt: don't try using locks recursively ever!
This patch fixes the problem by removing the second mu.RLock(). This
was done by factoring the code that was calling it into the
transfermap.go file so all the locking can be seen at once which was
ultimately the cause of the problem - the code which used the locks
was too far away from the rest of the code using the lock.
This problem was introduced in:
bfa5715017 fs/accounting: sort transfers by start time
Which hasn't been released in a stable version yet
After uploading a multipart object, rclone deletes any unused parts.
Probably as part of the listing unification, the detection of the
parts beloning to the current upload was failing and calling Update
was deleting the parts for the current object.
This change fixes the detection and deletes all the old parts but none
of the new ones now.
Fixes#4075
Previous to this change rclone cached the looked up root_folder_id in
the root_folder_id config variable.
This has caused a lot of confusion and a few attempts at workarounds
and ultimately was a mistake.
This reverts rclone attempting to cache anything in root_folder_id and
returns that variable to be entirely user modified.
It gives a little hint in the debug that rclone could be sped up
slightly by setting it, but it is up to the user to think about
whether that would be OK or not.
Google drive root '': root_folder_id = "XXX" - save this in the config to speed up startup
It does not change root_folder_id itself, leaving this to the user.

`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.
- 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.

Due to Chrome's rather complicated use of file handles when saving
files from the download windows, rclone was attempting to truncate a
closed file.
The file appeared closed due to the handling of 0 length files.
This patch removes the check for the file being closed in the
WriteFileHandle.Truncate call. This is safe because the only action
this method takes is to emit an error message if the file is the wrong
size.

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.
