The sftp library delivers the attributes of the symlink rather than
the object pointed to in directory listings, however when we use Stat
from the library it points to the objects.
Previous to this fix this caused items pointed to by symlinks to be
unusable.
After the fix both symlinked files and directories work as expected.
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.
Previously this was adding it in to all file opens which was causing
inefficiencies under Windows where it stats the file using
open/fstat/close.
This change will make stat operations run much quicker under Windows
as they won't have to open the underlying file
This problem was introduced in61b6159a05336bd7ba105766de2d2ff171f7fb81
where we added O_CREATE to all file opens and creates.
This implements a remote control protocol activated with the --rc flag
and a new command `rclone rc` to use that interface.
Still to do
* docs - need finishing
* tests
From testing it appears that CEPH no longer works properly with v2
auth and neither does Dreamhost, so update the docs anc configuration
to recommend v4 auth.
This is a problem when syncing a file which just needed its modtime
set with dropbox which can't set the mod time of a file without
re-uploading it.
Before this change we would delete the file, then the server side move
would fail moving the file to the backup-dir because it no longer
existed.
After this change the destination file is moved to the backup-dir
instead of being deleted and the new file is uploaded.
Fixes#2134
This was caused by this sequence of calls
1> file.Release
1> file.close -> takes the file lock
2> vfs.waitforWriters
2> dir.walk -> takes the dir lock
1> file.setObject
1> dir.addObject -> attempts to take the dir lock - BLOCKS
2> file.activeWriters -> tries to take file lock - BLOCKS - DEADLOCK
The fix is to make activeWriters not take the file lock and use atomic
operations to read the number of writers instead.
