The scanner process has only cosmetic effect for the progress printer,
and can be disabled without impacting functionality when the user does
not need an estimate of completion.
In many cases the scanner process can provide beneficial priming of
the file system cache, so as general advice it should not be disabled.
However, tests have shown that backup of NFS and fuse based filesystems,
where stat(2) is relatively expensive, can be significantly faster
without the scanner.
The Original field is meant to remember the original snapshot id if e.g.
changing its tags. It was only set by the `rewrite` command if it was
not set previously. However, a rewritten snapshot is potentially rather
different from the original snapshot. Thus just always set the Original
field. This also makes it easier to later on detect and potentially
remove the original snapshots.
The ioutil functions are deprecated since Go 1.17 and only wrap another
library function. Thus directly call the underlying function.
This commit only mechanically replaces the function calls.
The old check did not consider files containing case insensitive
excludes. The check is now implemented as a function of the
excludePatternOptions struct to improve cohesion.
The test did not wait for the mount command to fully shutdown all
running goroutines. This caused the go race detector to report a data
race related to lock refreshes.

==================
Counting the first occurrence of a duplicate blob as used and counting
all other as duplicates, independent of which instance of the blob is
kept, is only accurate if all copies of the blob have the same size. This
is no longer the case for a repository containing both compressed and
uncompressed blobs.
Thus for duplicated blobs first count all instances as duplicates and
then subtract the actually used instance later on.
As long as only a small fraction of the data in a repository is
rewritten, the keepBlobs set will be rather small after cleaning it up.
As golang maps do not shrink their memory usage, just copy the contents
over to a new map. However, only copy the map if the cleanup removed at
least half the entries.
The set covers necessary, existing and duplicate blobs. This removes the
duplicate sets used to track whether all necessary blobs also exist.
This reduces the memory usage of prune by about 20-30%.
The RetryBackend tests depend on the mock backend. When the Backend
interface is eventually split from the restic package, this will lead to
a dependency cycle between backend and backend/mock. Thus split the
RetryBackend into a separate package to avoid this problem.
The comparison of the current time and the last lock refresh were using
seconds represented as integers. As the test only waits for up to one
second, the associated number truncation can cause the test to take
longer than once second and thus to fail.
Switch to nanoseconds to avoid this problem. This also slightly speeds
up the test.
FindFilteredSnapshots no longer prints errors during snapshot loading on
stderr, but instead passes the error to the callback to allow the caller
to decide on what to do.
In addition, it moves the logic to handle an explicit snapshot list from
the main package to restic.
The only use cases in the code were in errors.IsFatal, backend/b2,
which needs a workaround, and backend.ParseLayout. The last of these
requires all backends to implement error unwrapping in IsNotExist.
All backends except gs already did that.
Monotonic timers are paused during standby. Thus these timers won't fire
after waking up. Fall back to periodic polling to detect too large clock
jumps. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/35012 for a discussion of
go timers during standby.
Restic continued e.g. a backup task even when it failed to renew the
lock or failed to do so in time. For example if a backup client enters
standby during the backup this can allow other operations like `prune`
to run in the meantime (after calling `unlock`). After leaving standby
the backup client will continue its backup and upload indexes which
refer pack files that were removed in the meantime.
This commit introduces a goroutine explicitly monitoring for locks that
are not refreshed in time. To simplify the implementation there's now a
separate goroutine to refresh the lock and monitor for timeouts for each
lock. The monitoring goroutine would now cause the backup to fail as the
client has lost it's lock in the meantime.
The lock refresh goroutines are bound to the context used to lock the
repository initially. The context returned by `lockRepo` is also
cancelled when any of the goroutines exits. This ensures that the
context is cancelled whenever for any reason the lock is no longer
refreshed.
Previously the global context was either accessed via gopts.ctx,
stored in a local variable and then used within that function or
sometimes both. This makes it very hard to follow which ctx or a wrapped
version of it reaches which method.
Thus just drop the context from the globalOptions struct and pass it
explicitly to every command line handler method.
We can either preallocate storage for a file or sparsify it. This
detects a pack file as sparse if it contains an all zero block or
consists of only one block. As the file sparsification is just an
approximation, hide it behind a `--sparse` parameter.
`restic unlock` now only shows `successfully removed locks` if there were locks to be removed.
In addition, it also reports the number of the removed lock files.
Sending data through a channel at very high frequency is extremely
inefficient. Thus use simple callbacks instead of channels.
> name old time/op new time/op delta
> MasterIndexEach-16 6.68s ±24% 0.96s ± 2% -85.64% (p=0.008 n=5+5)
This results in printing a `(default: $ENV) (default: value)` suffix for
the corresponding options which looks strange. In addition, some of the
environment variables might contain secrets which should not be
displayed.
`init` and `copy` use `--repo2` with two different meaning which has
proven to be confusing for users. `--from-repo` now consistently marks a
source repository from which data is read. `--repo` is now always the
target/destination repository.
After repacking every blob that should be kept must have been repacked.
We have seen a few cases in which a single blob went missing, which
could have been caused by a bitflip somewhere. This sanity check might
help catch some of these cases.
