prune: Add unsafe option to recover from no free space
The new option allows prune to operate with nearly no scratch space by only removing no longer necessary pack files and first deleting the index before rebuilding it. By first deleting the index it becomes safe to just delete no longer necessary pack files. However, as a downside there's now the risk that the repository becomes inaccessible if prune fails. To recover from that problem a user might have to manually delete the repository index and then run (a full) `rebuild-index` again.

Enhancement: Support pruning even after running out of disk space
|
||||
|
||||
When running out of disk space it was no longer possible to add or remove
|
||||
data from a repository. To help with recovering from such a deadlock, the
|
||||
prune command now supports an `--unsafe-recover-no-free-space` option to
|
||||
recover from such situations. Make sure to read the documentation first!

Recovering from "no free space" errors
|
||||
**************************************
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases when a repository has grown large enough to fill up all disk space or the
|
||||
allocated quota, then ``prune`` might fail to free space. ``prune`` works in such a way
|
||||
that a repository remains usable no matter at which point the command is interrupted.
|
||||
However, this also means that ``prune`` requires some scratch space to work.
|
||||
|
||||
In most cases it is sufficient to instruct ``prune`` to use as little scratch space as
|
||||
possible by running it as ``prune --max-repack-size 0``. Note that for restic versions
|
||||
before 0.13.0 ``prune --max-repack-size 1`` must be used. Obviously, this can only work
|
||||
if several snapshots have been removed using ``forget`` before. This then allows the
|
||||
``prune`` command to actually remove data from the repository. If the command succeeds,
|
||||
but there is still little free space, then remove a few more snapshots and run ``prune`` again.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``prune`` fails to complete, then ``prune --unsafe-recover-no-free-space SOME-ID``
|
||||
is available as a method of last resort. It allows prune to work with little to no free
|
||||
space. However, a **failed** ``prune`` run can cause the repository to become
|
||||
**temporarily unusable**. Therefore, make sure that you have a stable connection to the
|
||||
repository storage, before running this command. In case the command fails, it may become
|
||||
necessary to manually remove all files from the `index/` folder of the repository and
|
||||
run `rebuild-index` afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent accidental usages of the ``--unsafe-recover-no-free-space`` option it is
|
||||
necessary to first run ``prune --unsafe-recover-no-free-space SOME-ID`` and then replace
|
||||
``SOME-ID`` with the requested ID.
