when doing in-file checkpointing, borg creates *.borg_part_N files.
complete_file = part_1 + part_2 + ... + part_N
the source item for recreate already has a precomputed (total) size
member, thus we must force recomputation from the (partial) chunks
list to correct the size to be the part's size only.
borg create avoided this problem by computing the size member after
writing all the parts. this is now not required any more.
the bug is mostly cosmetic, borg check will complain, borg extract on
a part file would also complain. but all the complaints only refer to
the wrong metadata of the part files, the part files' contents are
correct.
usually you will never extract or look at part files, but only deal
with the full file, which will be completely valid, all metadata and
content.
you can get rid of the archives with these cosmetic errors by running
borg recreate on them with a fixed borg version. the old part files
will get dropped (because they are usually ignored) and any new part
file created due to checkpointing will be correct.
opening a device file for a non-existing device can be very slow.
symlinks will make the open() call fail as it is using O_NOFOLLOW.
also: lstat -> stat(..., follow_symlinks=False) like everywhere else.
move --no-files-cache from common to borg create options, fixes#3146
for borg prune, just use do_files=False (it only needs the chunks
cache, not the files cache).
if it is not significantly better compressed, we just store lz4
compressed data (which we already have computed anyway), because
that at least decompressed super fast.
You can now control the files cache mode using this option:
--files-cache={ctime,mtime,size,inode,rechunk,disabled}*
(only some combinations are supported)
Previously, only these modes were supported:
- mtime,size,inode (default of borg < 1.1.0rc4)
- mtime,size (by using --ignore-inode)
- disabled (by using --no-files-cache)
Now, you additionally get:
- ctime alternatively to mtime (more safe), e.g.:
ctime,size,inode (this is the new default of borg >= 1.1.0rc4)
- rechunk (consider all files as changed, rechunk them)
Deprecated:
- --ignore-inodes (use modes without "inode")
- --no-files-cache (use "disabled" mode)
The tests needed some changes:
- previously, we use os.utime() to set a files mtime (atime) to specific
values, but that does not work for ctime.
- now use time.sleep() to create the "latest file" that usually does
not end up in the files cache (see FAQ)
