There's no point in locking the repository just to list the currently
existing lock files. This won't work for an exclusively locked
repository and is also confusing to users.
Load tree blobs with more than 50MB only from a single goroutine. Very
large tree blobs with for example 400 MB size can otherwise require
roughly 1GB * streamTreeParallelism memory.
Loading any parent tree for these only wastes time and memory.
Fixes #3641, where it was shown that the most recent tree will get
picked.
--parent is now implicitly ignored when --stdin is given.
Create a temporary file with a sufficiently random name to essentially
avoid any chance of conflicts. Once the upload has finished remove the
temporary suffix. Interrupted upload thus will be ignored by restic.
cleanup handlers run in the order in which they are added. As Go calls
init() functions in lexical order, the cleanup handler from global.go
was registered before that from lock.go, which is the correct order.
Make this order explicit to ensure that this won't break accidentally.
This ensures that restic won't create lots of new lock files without
deleting them later on.
In some cases a Delete operation on a backend can return a "File does
not exist" error even though the Delete operation succeeded. This can
for example be caused by request retries. This caused restic to forget
about the new lock file and continue trying to remove the old (already
deleted) lock file.
The function supports efficiently loading a specified list of blobs from
a single pack in a streaming fashion. That is there's no need for
temporary files independent of the pack size.
The archiver uses FS.OpenFile, where FS is an instance of the FS
interface. This is different from fs.OpenFile, which uses the OpenFile
method provided by the fs package.
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.
Currently, `restic backup` (if a `--parent` is not provided)
will choose the most recent matching snapshot as the parent snapshot.
This makes sense in the usual case,
where we tag the snapshot-being-created with the current time.
However, this doesn't make sense if the user has passed `--time`
and is currently creating a snapshot older than the latest snapshot.
Instead, choose the most recent snapshot
which is not newer than the snapshot-being-created's timestamp,
to avoid any time travel.
Impetus for this change:
I'm using restic for the first time!
I have a number of existing BTRFS snapshots
I am backing up via restic to serve as my initial set of backups.
I initially `restic backup`'d the most recent snapshot to test,
then started backing up each of the other snapshots.
I noticed in `restic cat snapshot <id>` output
that all the remaining snapshots have the most recent as the parent.
