Before this change, macOS-specific metadata was not preserved by rclone, even for
local-to-local transfers (it does not use the "user." prefix, nor is Mac metadata
limited to xattrs.) Additionally, rclone did not take advantage of APFS's native
"cloning" functionality for fast and deduplicated transfers.
After this change, local (on macOS only) supports "server-side copy" similarly to
other remotes, and achieves this by using (when possible) macOS's native APFS
"cloning", which is the same underlying mechanism deployed when a user
duplicates a file via the Finder UI. This has several advantages over the
previous behavior:
- It is extremely fast (even large files can be cloned instantly)
- It is very efficient in terms of storage, as it automatically deduplicates when
possible (i.e. so that having two identical files does not consume more storage
than having just one.) (The concept is similar to a "hard link", but subsequent
modifications will not affect the original file.)
- It preserves Mac-specific metadata to the maximum degree, including not only
xattrs but also metadata not easily settable by other methods, including Finder
and Spotlight params.
When server-side "clone" is not available (for example, on non-APFS volumes), it
falls back to server-side "copy" (still preserving metadata but using more disk
storage.) It is only used when both remotes are local (and not wrapped by other
remotes, such as crypt.) The behavior of local on non-mac systems is unchanged.
Before this fix we attempted to copy metadata to SFTP backends despite
them not being capable of it.
This fixes the problem by making the need to copy metadata explicit
rather than implicit in a value being present or not.
Before this change we synced directories regardless if the source
directory existed. It is irrelevant whether the source directory
exists or not, what we need to know is has the directory been
modified.

Before this change we used the same datastructure for managing empty
directories for both --create-empty-src-dirs in sync/copy/move and for
the --delete-empty-src-dirs flag in move.
These two uses are subtly incompatible and this change uses a separate
datastructure for both uses. This makes it more accurate and easier to
understand.
Before this change when the sync routine attempted to normalise a
case, say from "FiLe.txt" to "file.txt" this caused a 400 Bad Request
error:
> This copy request is illegal because it is trying to copy an object
> to itself without changing the object's metadata, storage class,
> website redirect location or encryption attributes.
This was caused by passing the same object as the source and
destination to the move routine, whereas the destination object had a
different case and didn't exist, so should have been passed as nil.
See: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/7743#discussion_r1557345906
Some backends (like s3, swift, gcs, azureblob) don't have directories
(this can be overridden on some using the directory markers feature).
It therefore makes no sense to sync directory times from them as they
will all be a value made up by rclone (--default-time)
We use the feature flag CanHaveEmptyDirectories to mark backends
without real directory support and disable the directory modification
time syncing on those.
Before this change, directory modtimes (and metadata) were always synced from
src to dst, even if already in sync (i.e. their modtimes already matched.) This
potentially required excessive API calls, made logs noisy, and was potentially
problematic for backends that create "versions" or otherwise log activity
updates when modtime/metadata is updated.
After this change, a new DirsEqual function is added to check whether dirs are
equal based on a number of factors such as ModifyWindow and sync flags in use.
If the dirs are equal, the modtime/metadata update is skipped.
For backends that require setDirModTimeAfter, the "after" sync is performed only
for dirs that could have been changed by the sync (i.e. dirs containing files
that were created/updated.)
Note that dir metadata (other than modtime) is not currently considered by
DirsEqual, consistent with how object metadata is synced (only when objects are
unequal for reasons other than metadata).
To sync dir modtimes and metadata unconditionally (the previous behavior), use
--ignore-times.
Directory mod times are synced by default if the backend is capable
and directory metadata is synced if the --metadata flag is provided
and the backend is capable.
This updates the bisync golden tests also which were affected by
--dry-run setting of directory modtimes.
Fixes#6685
This should be more efficient for the purposes of --fix-case, as operations.DirMove
accepts `srcRemote` and `dstRemote` arguments, while sync.MoveDir does not.
This also factors the two-step-move logic to operations.DirMoveCaseInsensitive, so
that it is reusable by other commands.
Before this change, operations.moveOrCopyFile had a special section to detect
and handle changing case of a file on a case insensitive remote, but
operations.Move did not. This caused operations.Move to fail for certain
backends that are incapable of renaming a file in-place to an equal-folding name.
(Not all case-insensitive backends have this limitation -- for example, Dropbox
does but macOS local does not.)
After this change, the special two-part-move section from
operations.moveOrCopyFile is factored out to its own function,
moveCaseInsensitive, which is then called from both operations.moveOrCopyFile
and operations.Move.
Similar to
acf1e2df84,
go1.21.4 appears to have broken sync.MoveDir on Windows because
filepath.VolumeName() returns `\\?` instead of `\\?\C:` in cleanRootPath. It
looks like the Go team is aware of the issue and planning a fix, so this may
only be needed temporarily.
Before this change, a sync to a case insensitive dest (such as macOS / Windows)
would not result in a matching filename if the source and dest had casing
differences but were otherwise equal. For example, syncing `hello.txt` to
`HELLO.txt` would result in the dest filename remaining `HELLO.txt`.
Furthermore, `--local-case-sensitive` did not solve this, as it actually caused
`HELLO.txt` to get deleted!
After this change, `HELLO.txt` is renamed to `hello.txt` to match the source,
only if the `--fix-case` flag is specified. (The old behavior remains the
default.)
Allows rclone sync to accept the same output file flags as rclone check,
for the purpose of writing results to a file.
A new --dest-after option is also supported, which writes a list file using
the same ListFormat flags as lsf (including customizable options for hash,
modtime, etc.) Conceptually it is similar to rsync's --itemize-changes, but
not identical -- it should output an accurate list of what will be on the
destination after the sync.
Note that it has a few limitations, and certain scenarios
are not currently supported:
--max-duration / CutoffModeHard
--compare-dest / --copy-dest (because equal() is called multiple times for the
same file)
server-side moves of an entire dir at once (because we never get the individual
file objects in the dir)
High-level retries, because there would be dupes
Possibly some error scenarios that didn't come up on the tests
Note also that each file is logged during the sync, as opposed to after, so it
is most useful as a predictor of what SHOULD happen to each file
(which may or may not match what actually DID.)
Only rclone sync is currently supported -- support for copy and move may be
added in the future.
Logger instruments the Sync routine with a status report for each file pair,
making it possible to output a list of the synced files, along with their
attributes and sigil categorization (match/differ/missing/etc.)
It is very customizable by passing in a custom LoggerFn, options, and
io.Writers to be written to. Possible uses include:
- allow sync to write path lists to a file, in the same format as rclone check
- allow sync to output a --dest-after file using the same format flags as lsf
- receive results as JSON when calling sync from an internal function
- predict the post-sync state of the destination
For usage examples, see bisync.WriteResults() or sync.SyncLoggerFn()
Before this change we were only counting moves as checks. This means
that when using `rclone move` the `Transfers` stat did not count up
like it should do.
This changes introduces a new primitive operations.MoveTransfers which
counts moves as Transfers for use where that is appropriate, such as
rclone move/moveto. Otherwise moves are counted as checks and their
bytes are not accounted.

Before this change, when using --cutoff-mode=soft and --max-duration
rclone deadlocked when the cutoff limit was reached.
This was because the sync objects Pipe became full and nothing was
emptying it because the cutoff was reached.
This changes the context for putting items into the pipe to be the one
that gets cancelled when the cutoff is reached.

In this commit:
432d5d1e20 operations: fix overlapping check on case insensitive file systems
We introduced a test that makes no sense. This happens to pass without --fast-list and fail with it.
This removes the test.
Before this change, the overlapping check could erroneously give this
error on case insensitive file systems:
Failed to sync: destination and parameter to --backup-dir mustn't overlap
The code was fixed and re-worked to be simpler and more reliable.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/backup-dir-cannot-be-in-root-even-when-excluded/39844/
Before this change we weren't outputing a debug log on the start of a
transfer for files which existed on the source but not in the
destination.
This was different to the single file copy routine.
If using rclone move and --check-first and --order-by then rclone uses
the transfer routine to delete files to ensure perfect ordering.
This will cause the transfer stats to have a larger than expected
number of items in it so we don't enable this by default.
Fixes#6033
There were some places (e.g. deleting files) where we were using
--transfers instead of --checkers to control the concurrency when
files weren't being transferred.
These have been updated to use --checkers.
Before this change, all types of checkers showed "checking" after the
file name despite the fact that not all of them were checking.
After this change, they can show
- checking
- deleting
- hashing
- importing
- listing
- merging
- moving
- renaming
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/what-is-rclone-checking-during-a-purge/35931/
Before this change --compare-dest and --copy-dest would check to see
if the compare/copy object existed first, before seeing if the
destination object was present.
This is inefficient, because in most --copy-dest syncs the destination
will be present and the compare/copy object need never be tested.
--compare-dest syncs may also be speeded up if they are done to the
same directory repeatedly.
This fixes the problem by re-arranging the logic so if the transfer is
not needed then the compare/copy object is never tested.

Before this change using --max-duration and --cutoff-mode soft would
work like --cutoff-mode hard.
This bug was introduced in this commit which made transfers be
cancelable - before that transfers couldn't be canceled.
122a47fba6 accounting: Allow transfers to be canceled with context #3257
This change adds the timeout to the input context for reading files
rather than the transfer context so the files transfers themselves
aren't canceled if --cutoff-mode soft is in action.
This also adds a test for cutoff mode soft and max duration which was
missing.

3ccf222acb sync: overlap check is now filter-sensitive
The tests were attempting to write invalid objects on some backends
due to a leading / on the object name.
This fix also adds a few more test cases and makes sure the tests can
be run individually.
Previously, the overlap check was based on simple prefix checks of the source and destination paths. Now it actually checks whether the destination is excluded via any filter rule or a "--exclude-if-present"-file.
Before this change, if the --max-duration limit was reached then
rclone would retry the sync as a fatal error wasn't raised.
This checks the deadline and raises a fatal error if necessary at the
end of the sync.
Fixes#6002
Previously only the fs being checked on gets passed to
GetModifyWindow(). However, in most tests, the test files are
generated in the local fs and transferred to the remote fs. So the
local fs time precision has to be taken into account.
This meant that on Windows the time tests failed because the
local fs has a time precision of 100ns. Checking remote items uploaded
from local fs on Windows also requires a modify window of 100ns.
This is possible now that we no longer support go1.12 and brings
rclone into line with standard practices in the Go world.
This also removes errors.New and errors.Errorf from lib/errors and
prefers the stdlib errors package over lib/errors.
The test is not applicable to uptobox which can't upload empty files.
The test was not skipped as intended because the direct error was compared.
This fix will compare error Cause because Sync wraps the error.
