547c635552 mailru: add override for TestApplyTransforms - #7591
mailru is unable to handle filenames with certain combining characters (for
example: йěáñ), and is therefore incapable of testing ApplyTransforms. (It is
also therefore incapable of fully supporting --no-unicode-normalization.)

The same override is applied to chunker when wrapping mailru.

9d2bd163c7 opendrive: fix moving file/folder within the same parent dir - #7591
Before this change, moving (renaming) a file or folder to a different name
within the same parent directory would fail, due to using the wrong API
operation ("/file/move_copy.json" and "/folder/move_copy.json", instead of the
separate "/file/rename.json" and "/folder/rename.json" that opendrive has for
this purpose.)

After this change, Move and DirMove check whether the move is within the same
parent dir. If so, "rename" is used. If not, "move_copy" is used, like before.

7b8bbe531e nfsmount: fix --volname being ignored #7503
Before this change, nfsmount ignored the --volname flag. After this change, the --
volname flag is respected, making it possible to set a custom volume name.

macOS users should note that Finder will show the correct volume name in most
places, but a notable exception is the sidebar, which will show "localhost".
This seems to be a system limitation (at least without `sudo`), but see the
discussion at https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7503#issuecomment-1933997678
for some possible workarounds.

0e2f1d64e3 nfsmount: fix exit after external unmount #7503
Before this change, if a user unmounted externally (for example, via the Finder
UI), rclone would not be aware of this and wait forever to exit -- effectively
causing a deadlock that would require Ctrl+C to terminate.

After this change, when the handler detects an external unmount, it calls a
function which allows rclone to cleanly shutdown the VFS and exit.

5638a3841f serve nfs: fix writing files via Finder on macOS - fixes #7503
Before this change, writing files to an `nfsmount` via Finder on macOS would
cause critical errors, rendering `nfsmount` effectively unusable on macOS. This
change fixes the issue so that writes via Finder should be possible.

The issue was primarily caused by the handler's HandleLimit being set to -1. -1 is
the correct default for a NullAuthHandler, but not for a CachingHandler, which
interprets -1 not as "no limit" but as "no cache".

This change sets a high default of 1000000, and gives the user control over it
with a new --nfs-cache-handle-limit flag (available in both `serve nfs` and
`nfsmount`. A minimum of 5 is enforced, as any lower than this will be
insufficient to support directory listing.

6986a43b68 bisync: delete flushCache() function from tests
The flushCache() function has a bug that causes it to never actually
flush the cache. Specifically, it checks whether DirCacheFlush is nil,
but never calls it.

The tests are already passing without flushing the dir cache, so this
commit just deletes flushCache() and its call sites.

Fixes rclone/rclone#7623

137f7f62fb sync: use operations.DirMove instead of sync.MoveDir for --fix-case - #7591
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.

f3680d222c operations: fix TestCaseInsensitiveMoveFileDryRun on chunker integration tests #7591
It appears that ci.DryRun = true affects the behavior of r.WriteObject on
chunker only, and no other remotes. This change puts a quick bandaid on it by
setting it later on in the test, but perhaps the underlying issue warrants a
closer look at some point... is chunker checking ci.DryRun itself in a way that
no other remote does? If so, should it? (Does this break encapsulation?)

d2b37cf61e operations: fix case-insensitive moves in operations.Move #7591
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.

83f61a9cfb s3: GCS provider: fix server side copy of files bigger than 5G
GCS gives NotImplemented errors for multi-part server side copies. The
threshold for these is currently set just below 5G so any files bigger
than 5G that rclone attempts to server side copy will fail.

This patch works around the problem by adding a quirk for GCS raising
--s3-copy-cutoff to the maximum. This means that rclone will never use
multi-part copies for files in GCS. This includes files bigger than
5GB which (according to AWS documentation) must be copied with
multi-part copy. However this seems to work with GCS.

serve restic: fix error handling
* serve restic: return internal error if listing failed

If listing a remote failed, then rclone returned http status "not
found". This has become a problem since restic 0.16.0 which ignores "not
found"-errors while listing a directory.

Just return internal server error, if something unexpected happens while
listing a directory.

* serve restic: fix error handling if getting a file fails

If the call to `newObject` in `serveObject` fails, then rclone always
returned a "not found" error. This prevents restic from distinguishing
permanent "not found" errors from everything else.

Thus, only return "not found" if the object is not found and an internal
server error otherwise.

03295bbc3c azureblob: fix data corruption bug #7590
It was reported that rclone copy occasionally uploaded corrupted data
to azure blob.

This turned out to be a race condition updating the block count which
caused blocks to be duplicated.

This bug was introduced in this commit in v1.64.0 and will be fixed in v1.65.2

0427177857 azureblob: implement OpenChunkWriter and multi-thread uploads #7056

This race only seems to happen if `--checksum` is used but can happen otherwise.

Unfortunately Azure blob does not check the MD5 that we send them so
despite sending incorrect data this corruption is not detected. The
corruption is detected when rclone tries to download the file, so
attempting to copy the files back to local disk will result in errors
such as:

    ERROR : file.pokosuf5.partial: corrupted on transfer: md5 hash differ "XXX" vs "YYY"

This adds a check to test the blocklist we upload is as we expected
which would have caught the problem had it been in place earlier.

810644e873 bisync: add --resync-mode for customizing --resync - fixes #5681
Before this change, the path1 version of a file always prevailed during
--resync, and many users requested options to automatically select the winner
based on characteristics such as newer, older, larger, and smaller. This change
adds support for such options.

Note that ideally this feature would have been implemented by allowing the
existing `--resync` flag to optionally accept string values such as `--resync
newer`. However, this would have been a breaking change, as the existing flag
is a `bool` and it does not seem to be possible to have a `string` flag that
accepts both `--resync newer` and `--resync` (with no argument.) (`NoOptDefVal`
does not work for this, as it would force an `=` like `--resync=newer`.) So
instead, the best compromise to avoid a breaking change was to add a new
`--resync-mode CHOICE` flag that implies `--resync`, while maintaining the
existing behavior of `--resync` (which implies `--resync-mode path1`. i.e. both
flags are now valid, and either can be used without the other.

--resync-mode CHOICE

In the event that a file differs on both sides during a `--resync`,
`--resync-mode` controls which version will overwrite the other. The supported
options are similar to `--conflict-resolve`. For all of the following options,
the version that is kept is referred to as the "winner", and the version that
is overwritten (deleted) is referred to as the "loser". The options are named
after the "winner":

- `path1` - (the default) - the version from Path1 is unconditionally
considered the winner (regardless of `modtime` and `size`, if any). This can be
useful if one side is more trusted or up-to-date than the other, at the time of
the `--resync`.
- `path2` - same as `path1`, except the path2 version is considered the winner.
- `newer` - the newer file (by `modtime`) is considered the winner, regardless
of which side it came from. This may result in having a mix of some winners
from Path1, and some winners from Path2. (The implementation is analagous to
running `rclone copy --update` in both directions.)
- `older` - same as `newer`, except the older file is considered the winner,
and the newer file is considered the loser.
- `larger` - the larger file (by `size`) is considered the winner (regardless
of `modtime`, if any). This can be a useful option for remotes without
`modtime` support, or with the kinds of files (such as logs) that tend to grow
but not shrink, over time.
- `smaller` - the smaller file (by `size`) is considered the winner (regardless
of `modtime`, if any).

For all of the above options, note the following:
- If either of the underlying remotes lacks support for the chosen method, it
will be ignored and will fall back to the default of `path1`. (For example, if
`--resync-mode newer` is set, but one of the paths uses a remote that doesn't
support `modtime`.)
- If a winner can't be determined because the chosen method's attribute is
missing or equal, it will be ignored, and bisync will instead try to determine
whether the files differ by looking at the other `--compare` methods in effect.
(For example, if `--resync-mode newer` is set, but the Path1 and Path2 modtimes
are identical, bisync will compare the sizes.) If bisync concludes that they
differ, preference is given to whichever is the "source" at that moment. (In
practice, this gives a slight advantage to Path2, as the 2to1 copy comes before
the 1to2 copy.) If the files _do not_ differ, nothing is copied (as both sides
are already correct).
- These options apply only to files that exist on both sides (with the same
name and relative path). Files that exist *only* on one side and not the other
are *always* copied to the other, during `--resync` (this is one of the main
differences between resync and non-resync runs.).
- `--conflict-resolve`, `--conflict-loser`, and `--conflict-suffix` do not
apply during `--resync`, and unlike these flags, nothing is renamed during
`--resync`. When a file differs on both sides during `--resync`, one version
always overwrites the other (much like in `rclone copy`.) (Consider using
`--backup-dir` to retain a backup of the losing version.)
- Unlike for `--conflict-resolve`, `--resync-mode none` is not a valid option
(or rather, it will be interpreted as "no resync", unless `--resync` has also
been specified, in which case it will be ignored.)
- Winners and losers are decided at the individual file-level only (there is
not currently an option to pick an entire winning directory atomically,
although the `path1` and `path2` options typically produce a similar result.)
- To maintain backward-compatibility, the `--resync` flag implies
`--resync-mode path1` unless a different `--resync-mode` is explicitly
specified. Similarly, all `--resync-mode` options (except `none`) imply
`--resync`, so it is not necessary to use both the `--resync` and
`--resync-mode` flags simultaneously -- either one is sufficient without the
other.

68f0998699 bisync: add options to auto-resolve conflicts - fixes #7471
Before this change, when a file was new/changed on both paths (relative to the
prior sync), and the versions on each side were not identical, bisync would
keep both versions, renaming them with ..path1 and ..path2 suffixes,
respectively. Many users have requested more control over how bisync handles
such conflicts -- including an option to automatically select one version as
the "winner" and rename or delete the "loser". This change introduces support
for such options.

--conflict-resolve CHOICE

In bisync, a "conflict" is a file that is *new* or *changed* on *both sides*
(relative to the prior run) AND is *not currently identical* on both sides.
`--conflict-resolve` controls how bisync handles such a scenario. The currently
supported options are:

- `none` - (the default) - do not attempt to pick a winner, keep and rename
both files according to `--conflict-loser` and
`--conflict-suffix` settings. For example, with the default
settings, `file.txt` on Path1 is renamed `file.txt.conflict1` and `file.txt` on
Path2 is renamed `file.txt.conflict2`. Both are copied to the opposite path
during the run, so both sides end up with a copy of both files. (As `none` is
the default, it is not necessary to specify `--conflict-resolve none` -- you
can just omit the flag.)
- `newer` - the newer file (by `modtime`) is considered the winner and is
copied without renaming. The older file (the "loser") is handled according to
`--conflict-loser` and `--conflict-suffix` settings (either renamed or
deleted.) For example, if `file.txt` on Path1 is newer than `file.txt` on
Path2, the result on both sides (with other default settings) will be `file.txt`
(winner from Path1) and `file.txt.conflict1` (loser from Path2).
- `older` - same as `newer`, except the older file is considered the winner,
and the newer file is considered the loser.
- `larger` - the larger file (by `size`) is considered the winner (regardless
of `modtime`, if any).
- `smaller` - the smaller file (by `size`) is considered the winner (regardless
of `modtime`, if any).
- `path1` - the version from Path1 is unconditionally considered the winner
(regardless of `modtime` and `size`, if any). This can be useful if one side is
usually more trusted or up-to-date than the other.
- `path2` - same as `path1`, except the path2 version is considered the
winner.

For all of the above options, note the following:
- If either of the underlying remotes lacks support for the chosen method, it
will be ignored and fall back to `none`. (For example, if `--conflict-resolve
newer` is set, but one of the paths uses a remote that doesn't support
`modtime`.)
- If a winner can't be determined because the chosen method's attribute is
missing or equal, it will be ignored and fall back to `none`. (For example, if
`--conflict-resolve newer` is set, but the Path1 and Path2 modtimes are
identical, even if the sizes may differ.)
- If the file's content is currently identical on both sides, it is not
considered a "conflict", even if new or changed on both sides since the prior
sync. (For example, if you made a change on one side and then synced it to the
other side by other means.) Therefore, none of the conflict resolution flags
apply in this scenario.
- The conflict resolution flags do not apply during a `--resync`, as there is
no "prior run" to speak of (but see `--resync-mode` for similar
options.)

--conflict-loser CHOICE

`--conflict-loser` determines what happens to the "loser" of a sync conflict
(when `--conflict-resolve` determines a winner) or to both
files (when there is no winner.) The currently supported options are:

- `num` - (the default) - auto-number the conflicts by automatically appending
the next available number to the `--conflict-suffix`, in chronological order.
For example, with the default settings, the first conflict for `file.txt` will
be renamed `file.txt.conflict1`. If `file.txt.conflict1` already exists,
`file.txt.conflict2` will be used instead (etc., up to a maximum of
9223372036854775807 conflicts.)
- `pathname` - rename the conflicts according to which side they came from,
which was the default behavior prior to `v1.66`. For example, with
`--conflict-suffix path`, `file.txt` from Path1 will be renamed
`file.txt.path1`, and `file.txt` from Path2 will be renamed `file.txt.path2`.
If two non-identical suffixes are provided (ex. `--conflict-suffix
cloud,local`), the trailing digit is omitted. Importantly, note that with
`pathname`, there is no auto-numbering beyond `2`, so if `file.txt.path2`
somehow already exists, it will be overwritten. Using a dynamic date variable
in your `--conflict-suffix` (see below) is one possible way to avoid this. Note
also that conflicts-of-conflicts are possible, if the original conflict is not
manually resolved -- for example, if for some reason you edited
`file.txt.path1` on both sides, and those edits were different, the result
would be `file.txt.path1.path1` and `file.txt.path1.path2` (in addition to
`file.txt.path2`.)
- `delete` - keep the winner only and delete the loser, instead of renaming it.
If a winner cannot be determined (see `--conflict-resolve` for details on how
this could happen), `delete` is ignored and the default `num` is used instead
(i.e. both versions are kept and renamed, and neither is deleted.) `delete` is
inherently the most destructive option, so use it only with care.

For all of the above options, note that if a winner cannot be determined (see
`--conflict-resolve` for details on how this could happen), or if
`--conflict-resolve` is not in use, *both* files will be renamed.

`--conflict-suffix` controls the suffix that is appended when bisync renames a
`--conflict-loser` (default: `conflict`).
`--conflict-suffix` will accept either one string or two comma-separated
strings to assign different suffixes to Path1 vs. Path2. This may be helpful
later in identifying the source of the conflict. (For example,
`--conflict-suffix dropboxconflict,laptopconflict`)

With `--conflict-loser num`, a number is always appended to the suffix. With
`--conflict-loser pathname`, a number is appended only when one suffix is
specified (or when two identical suffixes are specified.) i.e. with
`--conflict-loser pathname`, all of the following would produce exactly the
same result:

```
--conflict-suffix path
--conflict-suffix path,path
--conflict-suffix path1,path2
```

Suffixes may be as short as 1 character. By default, the suffix is appended
after any other extensions (ex. `file.jpg.conflict1`), however, this can be
changed with the `--suffix-keep-extension` flag (i.e. to instead result in
`file.conflict1.jpg`).

`--conflict-suffix` supports several *dynamic date variables* when enclosed in
curly braces as globs. This can be helpful to track the date and/or time that
each conflict was handled by bisync. For example:

```
--conflict-suffix {DateOnly}-conflict
// result: myfile.txt.2006-01-02-conflict1
```

All of the formats described [here](https://pkg.go.dev/time#pkg-constants) and
[here](https://pkg.go.dev/time#example-Time.Format) are supported, but take
care to ensure that your chosen format does not use any characters that are
illegal on your remotes (for example, macOS does not allow colons in
filenames, and slashes are also best avoided as they are often interpreted as
directory separators.) To address this particular issue, an additional
`{MacFriendlyTime}` (or just `{mac}`) option is supported, which results in
`2006-01-02 0304PM`.

Note that `--conflict-suffix` is entirely separate from rclone's main `--sufix`
flag. This is intentional, as users may wish to use both flags simultaneously,
if also using `--backup-dir`.

Finally, note that the default in bisync prior to `v1.66` was to rename
conflicts with `..path1` and `..path2` (with two periods, and `path` instead of
`conflict`.) Bisync now defaults to a single dot instead of a double dot, but
additional dots can be added by including them in the specified suffix string.
For example, for behavior equivalent to the previous default, use:

```
[--conflict-resolve none] --conflict-loser pathname --conflict-suffix .path
```

d031cc138d bisync: check for syntax errors in path args - fixes #7511
Before this change, certain shell quoting / escaping errors (particularly on
Windows) were not detected by Bisync, possibly resulting in incorrect expansion
and confusing errors. In particular, Windows paths with a single trailing
backslash followed by a quote would be interpreted as an escaped quote --
resulting in the quote and subsequent flags being erroneously considered part
of the path.

After this change, Bisync specifically checks for a few of the most common
patterns, and if detected, exits with a more helpful error message before doing
any damage.

e71b252b65 bisync: add overlapping paths check
Before this change, Bisync did not check to make sure that Path1 and Path2 do
not overlap, nor did it check for overlaps with `--backup-dir`. While `sync`
does check for these things, it can sometimes be fooled because of the way
Bisync calls it with `--files-from` filters. Relying on sync could also leave a
run in a half-finished state if it were to error in one direction but not the
other (`--backup-dir` only checks for overlaps with the dest.)

After this change, Bisync does its own check up front, so we can quickly return
an error and exit before any changes are made.

e9cd3e5986 bisync: allow lock file expiration/renewal with --max-lock - #7470
Background: Bisync uses lock files as a safety feature to prevent
interference from other bisync runs while it is running. Bisync normally
removes these lock files at the end of a run, but if bisync is abruptly
interrupted, these files will be left behind. By default, they will lock out
all future runs, until the user has a chance to manually check things out and
remove the lock.

Before this change, lock files blocked future runs indefinitely, so a single
interrupted run would lock out all future runs forever (absent user
intervention), and there was no way to change this behavior.

After this change, a new --max-lock flag can be used to make lock files
automatically expire after a certain period of time, so that future runs are
not locked out forever, and auto-recovery is possible. --max-lock can be any
duration 2m or greater (or 0 to disable). If set, lock files older than this
will be considered "expired", and future runs will be allowed to disregard them
and proceed. (Note that the --max-lock duration must be set by the process that
left the lock file -- not the later one interpreting it.)

If set, bisync will also "renew" these lock files every
--max-lock_minus_one_minute throughout a run, for extra safety. (For example,
with --max-lock 5m, bisync would renew the lock file (for another 5 minutes)
every 4 minutes until the run has completed.) In other words, it should not be
possible for a lock file to pass its expiration time while the process that
created it is still running -- and you can therefore be reasonably sure that
any _expired_ lock file you may find was left there by an interrupted run, not
one that is still running and just taking awhile.

If --max-lock is 0 or not set, the default is that lock files will never
expire, and will block future runs (of these same two bisync paths)
indefinitely.

For maximum resilience from disruptions, consider setting a relatively short
duration like --max-lock 2m along with --resilient and --recover, and a
relatively frequent cron schedule. The result will be a very robust
"set-it-and-forget-it" bisync run that can automatically bounce back from
almost any interruption it might encounter, without requiring the user to get
involved and run a --resync.
