Citing Kerrisk, The Linux Programming Interface:
The O_NOATIME flag is intended for use by indexing and backup
programs. Its use can significantly reduce the amount of disk
activity, because repeated disk seeks back and forth across the
disk are not required to read the contents of a file and to update
the last access time in the file’s i-node[.]
restic used to do this, but the functionality was removed along with the
fadvise call in #670.
The VSS support works for 32 and 64-bit windows, this includes a check that
the restic version matches the OS architecture as required by VSS. The backup
operation will fail the user has not sufficient permissions to use VSS.
Snapshotting volumes also covers mountpoints but skips UNC paths.
internal/archiver.readdir and internal/fs.ReadDir were unused.
internal/fs.ReadDirNames and internal/archiver.readdirnames were doing
nearly the same thing, except one sorted its output and opened with
fs.O_NOFOLLOW. Both were only used in internal/archiver.
Return valid directory info from Lstat() for parent directories of the
specified filename. Previously only "/" and "." were valid directories.
Also set directory mode as this is checked by archiver.
Closes #2063
This commit changes the internal file system implementation for reading
data from stdin, it now returns an error when no bytes could be read. I
think it's worth failing in this case, the user instructed restic to
read some data from stdin, and no data was read at all. Maybe it was in
a pipe and some earlier stage failed.
See #2135 for a short discussion.
This adds two implementations of the new `FS` interface: One for the local
file system (`Local`) and one for a single file read from an
`io.Reader` (`Reader`).
