Before this change if a file was uploaded through a mount, then
deleted externally, trying to upload that file again could give EEXIST
"file already exists".
This was because the file already existing in the cache was confusing
rclone into thinking it already had the file.
The fix is to check that if rclone has a stale cache file then to
ignore it in this situation.

This patch provides the support of synchronous cache space recovery
to allow read threads to recover from ENOSPC errors when cache space
can be recovered from cache items that are not in use or safe to be
reset/emptied .
The patch complements the existing cache cleaning process in two ways.
Firstly, the existing cache cleaning process is time-driven that runs
periodically. The cache space can run out while the cache cleaner
thread is still waiting for its next scheduled run. The io threads
encountering ENOSPC return an internal error to the applications
in this case even when cache space can be recovered to avoid this
error. This patch addresses this problem by having the read threads
kick the cache cleaner thread in this condition to recover cache
space preventing unnecessary ENOSPC errors from being seen by the
applications.
Secondly, this patch enhances the cache cleaner to support cache
item reset. Currently the cache purge process removes cache
items that are not in use. This may not be sufficient when the
total size of the working set exceeds the cache directory's
capacity. Like in the current code, this patch starts the purge
process by removing cache files that are not in use. Cache items
whose access times are older than vfs-cache-max-age are removed first.
After that, other not-in-use items are removed in LRU order until
vfs-cache-max-size is reached. If the vfs-cache-max-size (the quota)
is still not reached at this time, this patch adds a cache reset
step to reset/empty cache files that are still in use but not
dirtied. This enables application processes to continue without
seeing an error even when the working set depletes the cache space
as long as there is not a large write working set hoarding the
entire cache space.
By design this patch does not add ENOSPC error recovery for write
IOs. Rclone does not empty a write cache item until the file data
is written back to the backend upon close. Allowing more cache
space to be consumed by dirty cache items when the cache space is
already running low would increase the risk of exhausting the cache
space in a way that the vfs mount becomes unreadable.
This allows reads to only read part of the file and it keeps on disk a
cache of what parts of each file have been loaded.
File data itself is kept in sparse files.
Before this change, when uploading files from the VFS cache which were
pending a rename, rclone would use the new path of the object when
specifiying the destination remote. This didn't cause a problem with
most backends as the subsequent rename did nothing, however with the
drive backend, since it updates objects, the incorrect Remote was
embedded in the object. This caused the rename to apparently succeed
but the object be at the wrong location.
The fix for this was to make sure we upload to the path stored in the
object if available.
This problem was spotted by the new rename tests for the VFS layer.
If a file handle is duplicated with dup() and the duplicate handle is
flushed, rclone will go ahead and close the file, making the original
file handle stale. This change removes the close() call from Flush() and
replaces it with FlushWrites() so that the file only gets closed when
Release() is called. The new FlushWrites method takes care of actually
writing the file back to the underlying storage.
Fixes#3381
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.
This is done to make clear ownership over accounting object and prepare
for removing global stats object.
Stats elapsed time calculation has been altered to account for actual
transfer time instead of stats creation time.
- 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.
Before this change, renaming and deleting of open files (which can
easily happen due to the asynchronous nature of file systems) would
produce an error, for example saving files with Firefox.
After this change we open files with the flags necessary for open
files to be renamed or deleted.
Fixes#2730
Without this fix the cached file can be removed as the file is being
uploaded or downloaded. This can cause the directory listings to
become inconsistent (this issue) or data loss (if a retry was needed
in the Copy).
Remove file needs to be excluded from running at the same time as both
openPending and close so it makes sense to unify the locking between
all 3.
This no longer needs to deal with O_RDONLY and O_TRUNC since we
disallow this earlier. This also fixes the code to just do it for
O_APPEND, not for everything.
Background: cmd/mount/file.go Open() function does a Seek(0, 1) to see
if the file handle is seekable to set a FUSE hint. Before this change
the file was downloaded before it needed to be which was inefficient
(and broke beta.rclone.org because HEAD requests caused downloads!).
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.
This was causing errors if the cache cleaner was called between the
Open and the pendingOpen of a RW file.
The fix was to move the cache open to the Open from the openPending.
This adds new flags to mount, cmount, serve *
--cache-max-age duration Max age of objects in the cache. (default 1h0m0s)
--cache-mode string Cache mode off|minimal|writes|full (default "off")
--cache-poll-interval duration Interval to poll the cache for stale objects. (default 1m0s)
