This flag allows users to disable the reflink cloning feature and instead force
"deep" copies, for certain use cases where data redundancy is preferable. It is
functionally equivalent to using `--disable Copy` on local.
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.
fix#7824
Statements like rclone copy <somewhere> . will spontaneously miss
if . expands to a path with a Full Width replacement character.
This is due to the incorrect order in which
relative paths and decoding were handled in the original implementation.
In this commit we merged an unreliable test
e053c8a1c0 copy: fix nil pointer dereference when corrupted on transfer with nil dst
It is a good idea but very hard to implement so it always works.
Hence this disables it for the moment.
In this commit (2014 for v1.02) Purge was implemented for the local
backend:
1527e64ee7 local: Implement Purger interface
This appeared to be implemented just to make a Purge and doesn't
appear to do anything useful.
It is in fact significatly worse than the rclone fallback purge since
it doesn't operate in parallel or update stats.
This patch removes the Purge routine for a consequent speed up and
showing of stats.

Before this change this would give errors like this
failed to set metadata on directory: failed to set birth (creation) time: Access is denied.
This was caused by opening the directory in the wrong mode.
A consequence of this is that fs.Directory returned by the local
backend will now have a correct size in (rather than -1). Some tests
depended on this and have been fixed by this commit too.
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.
For some files the Windows Volume Shadow Service (VSS) advertises the
file size as X in the directory listing but returns a different number
Y on stat-ing the file. If the file is opened and read there are Y
bytes available for reading.
Existing copy tools copy Y bytes rather than X so for consistency
rclone should do the same.
This fixes the problem by stat-ing the file immediately before opening
it. This will also reduce the unnecessary occurrence of "can't copy -
source file is being updated" errors; if the file has finished
changing by the time we come to copy it then we now can copy it
successfully.

Before this change the new partial downloads code was causing symlinks
to be copied as regular files.
This was because the partial isn't named .rclonelink so the local
backend saves it as a normal file and renaming it to .rclonelink
doesn't cause it to become a symlink.
This fixes the problem by not copying .rclonelink files using the
partials mechanism but reverting to the previous --inplace behaviour.
This could potentially be fixed better in the future by changing the
local backend Move to change files to and from symlinks depending on
their name. However this was deemed too complicated for a point
release.
This also adds a test in the local backend. This test should ideally
be in operations but it isn't easy to put it there as operations knows
nothing of symlinks.

Before this change if a directory entry could be listed but not
lstat-ed then rclone would give an error and abort the directory
listing with the error
failed to read directory entry: failed to read directory "XXX": lstat XXX
This change makes sure that the directory listing carries on even
after this kind of error.
The sync will be failed but it will carry on.
This problem was caused by a programming error setting the err
variable in an outer scope when it should have been using a local err
variable.

Implement a Partialuploads feature flag to mark backends for which
uploads are not atomic.
This is set for the following backends
- local
- ftp
- sftp
See #3770
Before this change using /path/to/file.rclonelink would not find the
file when using -l/--links.
This fixes the problem by doing another stat call if the file wasn't
found without the suffix if -l/--links is in use.
It will also give an error if you refer to a symlink without its
suffix which will not work because the limit to a single file
filtering will be using the file name without the .rclonelink suffix.
need ".rclonelink" suffix to refer to symlink when using -l/--links
Before this change it would use the symlink as a directory which then
would fail when listed.
See: #6855
Before this fix, a dangling symlink was erroring the sync. It was
writing an ERROR log and causing rclone to exit with an error. The
List method wasn't returning an error though.
This fix makes sure that we don't log or report a global error on a
file/directory that has been excluded.
This feature was first implemented in:
a61d219bc local: fix -L/--copy-links with filters missing directories
Then fixed in:
8d1fff9a8 local: obey file filters in listing to fix errors on excluded files
This commit also adds test cases for the failure modes of those commits.
See #6376
In this commit
8d1fff9a82 local: obey file filters in listing to fix errors on excluded files
We introduced the concept of local backend filters.
Unfortunately the filters were being applied before we had resolved
the symlink to point to a directory. This meant that symlinks pointing
to directories were filtered out when they shouldn't have been.
This was fixed by moving the filter check until after the symlink had
been resolved.

Before this change rclone used statx() to read the metadata for files
from the local filesystem when `-M` was in use.
Unfortunately statx() was only introduced in kernel 4.11 which was
released in April 2017 so there are current systems (eg Centos 7)
still on kernel versions which don't support statx().
This patch checks to see if statx() is available and if it isn't, it
falls back to using fstatat() which was introduced in Linux 2.6.16
which is guaranteed for all Go versions.

In this commit
8d1fff9a82 local: obey file filters in listing to fix errors on excluded files
We started using filters in the local backend so the user could short
circuit troublesome files/directories at a low level.
However this caused a number of integration tests to fail. This turned
out to be in backends wrapping the local backend. For example the
combine backend test failed because it changes the paths passed to the
local backend so they no longer match the paths in the current filter.
To fix this, a new feature flag `FilterAware` was added and the
UseFilter context flag is only passed to backends which support it. As
the wrapping backends don't support the flag, this fixes the problems
in the integration tests.
In future the wrapping backends could modify the active filters to
match the path modifications and then they could set the FilterAware
flag.
See #6376
Before this change, if rclone was run with `-M` on a filesystem
without xattr support, it would error out.
This patch makes rclone detect the not supported errors and disable
xattrs from then on. It prints one ERROR level message about this.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/metadata-update-local-s3/32277/7
Before this fix if a file was updated, but to the same length and
timestamp then the local backend would return the wrong (cached)
hashes for the object.
This happens regularly on a crypted local disk mount when the VFS
thinks files have been changed but actually their contents are
identical to that written previously. This is because when files are
uploaded their nonce changes so the contents of the file changes but
the timestamp and size remain the same because the file didn't
actually change.
This causes errors like this:
ERROR: file: Failed to copy: corrupted on transfer: md5 crypted
hash differ "X" vs "Y"
This turned out to be because the local backend wasn't clearing its
cache of hashes when the file was updated.
This fix clears the hash cache for Update and Remove.
It also puts a src and destination in the crypt message to make future
debugging easier.
Fixes#4031
