I'm working through linter complaints, these are some fixes. Broad
categories:
1) Ignore errors where we can ignore errors: add "_ = ..." construct.
you can argue that this is annoying noise, but apart from silencing the
linter it *does* serve the purpose of highlighting that an error is
being ignored. I think this is OK, because the linter highlighted some
error cases I wasn't aware of (starting CPU profiles, for example).
2) Untyped constants where we though we had set the type.
3) A real bug where we ineffectually assigned to a shadowed err.
4) Some dead code removed.
There'll be more of these, because not all packages are fixed, but the
diff was already large enough.
This adds a folder option "CopyOwnershipFromParent" which, when set,
makes Syncthing attempt to retain the owner/group information when
syncing files. Specifically, at the finisher stage we look at the parent
dir to get owner/group and then attempt a Lchown call on the temp file.
For this to succeed Syncthing must be running with the appropriate
permissions. On Linux this is CAP_FOWNER, which can be granted by the
service manager on startup or set on the binary in the filesystem. Other
operating systems do other things, but often it's not required to run as
full "root". On Windows this patch does nothing - ownership works
differently there and is generally less of a deal, as permissions are
inherited as ACLs anyway.
There are unit tests on the Lchown functionality, which requires the
above permissions to run. There is also a unit test on the folder which
uses the fake filesystem and hence does not need special permissions.
In a recent change (#5201) this return disappeared. The effect is that
we first shortcut the file and then also treat it normally. This results
in to database updates after each other, which are bound to end up in
the same batch. This means we remove one sequence entry and add two.
Not marking the issues as fixed, because I need to do more testing and
there are other discrepancies...
This removes the out of disk space check from CheckHealth. The disk space is now
only checked if there are files to pull, in which case pulling those files is
stopped, but everything else (dirs, links, deletes) keeps running -> can recover
disk space through pulling.
Adds a receive only folder type that does not send changes, and where the user can optionally revert local changes. Also changes some of the icons to make the three folder types distinguishable.
This is an improvement of PR #4493 and related to (and maybe fixing) #4961
and #4475. Maybe fixing, because there is no clear reproducer for that
problem.
The previous PR added a mechanism to resurrect missing parent directories,
if there is a valid child file to be pulled. The same mechanism does not
exist for dirs and symlinks, even though a missing parent can happen for
those items as well. Therefore this PR extends the resurrection to all types
of pulled items.
In addition I moved the IsDeleted branch while iterating over
processDirectly to the existing IsDeleted branch in the WithNeed iteration.
This saves one pointless assignment and IsDeleted query. Also
We have the invalid bit to indicate that a file isn't good. That's enough for remote devices. For ourselves, it would be good to know sometimes why the file isn't good - because it's an unsupported type, because it matches an ignore pattern, or because we detected the data is bad and we need to rescan it.
Or, and this is the main future reason for the PR, because it's a change detected on a receive only device. We will want something like the invalid flag for those changes, but marking them as invalid today means the scanner will rehash them. Hence something more fine grained is required.
This introduces a LocalFlags fields to the FileInfo where we can stash things that we care about locally. For example,
FlagLocalUnsupported = 1 << 0 // The kind is unsupported, e.g. symlinks on Windows
FlagLocalIgnored = 1 << 1 // Matches local ignore patterns
FlagLocalMustRescan = 1 << 2 // Doesn't match content on disk, must be rechecked fully
The LocalFlags fields isn't sent over the wire; instead the Invalid attribute is calculated based on the flags at index sending time. It's on the FileInfo anyway because that's what we serialize to database etc.
The actual Invalid flag should after this just be considered when building the global state and figuring out availability for remote devices. It is not used for local file index entries.
To newer names better reflecting their types and yet sorting together
with folder.go. Doing it now without asking because there are no open
PRs that will get killed by it, and to avoid bikeshedding the names.
