This enables the backends to request the calculation of a
backend-specific hash. For the currently supported backends this will
always be MD5. The hash calculation happens as early as possible, for
pack files this is during assembly of the pack file. That way the hash
would even capture corruptions of the temporary pack file on disk.
Many instances of errors.Wrap in this package would produce messages
like "Open: open <filename>: no such file or directory"; those now omit
the first "Open:" (or "Stat:", or "MkdirAll"). The function readVersion
now appends its own name to the error message, rather than the function
that failed, to make it easier to spot. Other function names (e.g.,
Load) are already added further up in the call chain.
This commit changes the signatures for repository.LoadAndDecrypt and
utils.LoadAll to allow passing in a []byte as the buffer to use. This
buffer is enlarged as needed, and returned back to the caller for
further use.
In later commits, this allows reducing allocations by reusing a buffer
for multiple calls, e.g. in a worker function.
Sometimes, users run restic without retaining the local cache
directories. This was reported several times in the past.
Restic will now print a message whenever a new cache directory is
created from scratch (i.e. it did not exist before), so users have a
chance to recognize when the cache is not kept between different runs of
restic.
Accessing beyond the end of the file now removes the file from the cache
because it is assumed to be truncated. Usually, this means that the data
is fetched directly from the backend instead.
This fixes #1833, which consists of two different bugs:
* The `defer` in `cacheFile()` may remove a channel from the
`inProgress` map although it is not responsible for downloading the
file
* If the download fails, goroutines waiting for the file to be cached
assumed that the file was there, there was no way to signal the
error.
As mentioned in issue [#1560](https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1560#issuecomment-364689346)
this changes the signature for `backend.Save()`. It now takes a
parameter of interface type `RewindReader`, so that the backend
implementations or our `RetryBackend` middleware can reset the reader to
the beginning and then retry an upload operation.
The `RewindReader` interface also provides a `Length()` method, which is
used in the backend to get the size of the data to be saved. This
removes several ugly hacks we had to do to pull the size back out of the
`io.Reader` passed to `Save()` before. In the `s3` and `rest` backend
this is actively used.
- be explicit when discarding returned errors from .Close(), etc.
- remove named return values from funcs when naked return not used
- fix some "err" shadowing when redeclaration not needed
Windows, and to a lesser extent OS X, don't conform to XDG and have
their own preferred locations for caches.
On Windows, use %LOCALAPPDATA%/restic (i.e., ~/AppData/Local/restic). I
can't find authoritative documentation from Microsoft recommending
specifically which of %APPDATA%, %LOCALAPPDATA%, and %TEMP% should be
used for caches, but %LOCALAPPDATA% is where browsers store their
caches, so it seems like a good fit.
On OS X, use ~/Library/Caches/restic, which is recommended by the Apple
documentation. They do suggest using the application "bundle identifier"
as the base folder name, but restic doesn't have one, so I just used
"restic".
This commit adds code to synchronize downloading files to the cache.
Before, requests that came in for files currently downloading would fail
because the file was not completed in the cache. Now, the code waits
until the download is completed.
Closes #1278
This commit adds a function to the cache which can decide to proactively
load the complete pack file and store it in the cache. This is helpful
for pack files containing only tree blobs, as it is likely that the same
file is accessed again in the future.
This commits adds rudimentary support for a cache directory, enabled by
default. The cache directory is created if it does not exist. The cache
is used if there's anything in it, newly created snapshot and index
files are written to the cache automatically.
