Turns out git +has quite a few lock files; the assistant handles them all. + +Improved URL and WORM keys so the filenames used for them +will always work on FAT (which has a crazy assortmeny of illegal +characters). This is a tricky thing to deal with without breaking backwards +compatability, so it's only dealt with when creating new URL or WORM keys. + +----- + +I think my next step in this disaster recovery themed month will be adding +periodic incremental fsck to the assistant. `git annex fsck` can already +do an incremental fsck, so this should mostly involve adding a user +interface to the webapp to configure when it should fsck. For example, you +might choose to run it for up 1 hour every night, with a goal of checking +all your files once per month. Also will need to make the assistant do +something useful when fsck finds a bad file (ie, queue a re-download). |
