Bugfix: Do not crash with Synology NAS sftp server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was found that when restic is used to store data on an sftp server on a
|
|
|
|
|
Synology NAS with a relative path (one which does not start with a slash), it
|
|
|
|
|
may go into an endless loop trying to create directories on the server. We've
|
2020-02-12 23:47:09 +00:00
|
|
|
fixed this bug by using a function in the sftp library instead of our own
|

|
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bug was discovered because the Synology sftp server behaves erratic with
|
|
|
|
|
non-absolute path (e.g. `home/restic-repo`). This can be resolved by just using
|
|
|
|
|
an absolute path instead (`/home/restic-repo`). We've also added a paragraph in
|
|
|
|
|
the FAQ.
