Depending on parameters the paths in a snapshot do not directly
correspond to real paths on the filesystem. Therefore, reject funcs must
use the FS interface to work correctly.
Files were not included in the backup if the extended metadata for the
file could not be read. This is rather drastic. Instead settle on
returning a warning but still including the file in the backup.
On FreeBSD, limited users may not be able to even list xattrs for the
parent directories above the snapshot source paths. As this can cause
the backup to fail, just ignore those errors.
The deviceID can change e.g. when backing up from filesystem snapshot.
It is only used for hardlink detection. Thus there it is not necessary
to store it for everything else.
Since Go 1.21, most reparse points are considered as irregular files.
Depending on the underlying driver these can exhibit nearly arbitrary
behavior. When encountering such a file, restic returned an
indecipherable error message: `error: invalid node type ""`.
Add the filepath to the error message and state that the file type is
not supported.
Mostly changed the ones that repeat the name of a system call, which is
already contained in os.PathError.Op. internal/fs.Reader had to be
changed to actually return such errors.
As the FileSaver is asynchronously waiting for all blobs of a file to be
stored, the number of active files is higher than the number of files
from which restic is reading concurrently. Thus to not confuse users,
only display files in the status from which restic is currently reading.
Archiver.Save queries the current time multiple times. This commit
removes one of these calls as they showed up while profiling a backup of
a nearly unchanged dataset containing 3 million files.
SaveTree did not use the TreeSaver but rather managed the tree
collection and upload itself. This prevents using the parallelism
offered by the TreeSaver and duplicates all related code. Using the
TreeSaver can provide some speed-ups as all steps within the backup tree
now rely on FutureNodes. This can be especially relevant for backups
with large amounts of explicitly specified files.
The main difference between SaveTree and SaveDir is, that only the
former can save tree blobs in which nodes have a different name than the
actual file on disk. This is the result of resolving name conflicts
between multiple files with the same name. The filename that must be
used within the snapshot is now passed directly to
restic.NodeFromFileInfo. This ensures that a FutureNode already contains
the correct filename.
FutureBlob now uses a Take() method as a more memory-efficient way to
retrieve the futures result. In addition, futures are now collected
while saving the file. As only a limited number of blobs can be queued
for uploading, for a large file nearly all FutureBlobs already have
their result ready, such that the FutureBlob object just consumes
memory.
There is no real difference between the FutureTree and FutureFile
structs. However, differentiating both increases the size of the
FutureNode struct.
The FutureNode struct is now only 16 bytes large on 64bit platforms.
That way is has a very low overhead if the corresponding file/directory
was not processed yet.
There is a special case for nodes that were reused from the parent
snapshot, as a go channel seems to have 96 bytes overhead which would
result in a memory usage regression.
Now with the asynchronous uploaders there's no more benefit from using
more blob savers than we have CPUs. Thus use just one blob saver for
each CPU we are allowed to use.
Previously, SaveAndEncrypt would assemble blobs into packs and either
return immediately if the pack is not yet full or upload the pack file
otherwise. The upload will block the current goroutine until it
finishes.
Now, the upload is done using separate goroutines. This requires changes
to the error handling. As uploads are no longer tied to a SaveAndEncrypt
call, failed uploads are signaled using an errgroup.
To count the uploaded amount of data, the pack header overhead is no
longer returned by `packer.Finalize` but rather by
`packer.HeaderOverhead`. This helper method is necessary to continue
returning the pack header overhead directly to the responsible call to
`repository.SaveBlob`. Without the method this would not be possible,
as packs are finalized asynchronously.
