* assistant unused file handlingGravatar Joey Hess2014-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sanity checker run git annex unused daily, and queue up transfers of unused files to any remotes that will have them. The transfer retrying code works for us here, so eg when a backup disk remote is plugged in, any transfers to it are done. Once the unused files reach a remote, they'll be removed locally as unwanted. If the setup does not cause unused files to go to a remote, they'll pile up, and the sanity checker detects this using some heuristics that are pretty good -- 1000 unused files, or 10% of disk used by unused files, or more disk wasted by unused files than is left free. Once it detects this, it pops up an alert in the webapp, with a button to take action. TODO: Webapp UI to configure this, and also the ability to launch an immediate cleanup of all unused files.

* benchmarked numcopies .gitattributes in preferred contentGravatar Joey Hess2014-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | Checking .gitattributes adds a full minute to a git annex find looking for files that don't have enough copies. 2:25 increasts to 3:27. I feel this is too much of a slowdown to justify making it the default. So, exposed two versions of the preferred content expression, a slow one and a fast but approximate one. I'm using the approximate one in the default preferred content expressions to avoid slowing down the assistant.

* | Add and use numcopiesneeded preferred content expression.Gravatar Joey Hess2014-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Add numcopiesneeded preferred content expression. * Client, transfer, incremental backup, and archive repositories now want to get content that does not yet have enough copies. This means the asssistant will make copies of files that don't yet meet the configured numcopies, even to places that would not normally want the file. For example, if numcopies is 4, and there are 2 client repos and 2 transfer repos, and 2 removable backup drives, the file will be sent to both transfer repos in order to make 4 copies. Once a removable drive get a copy of the file, it will be dropped from one transfer repo or the other (but not both). Another example, numcopies is 3 and there is a client that has a backup removable drive and two small archive repos. Normally once one of the small archives has a file, it will not be put into the other one. But, to satisfy numcopies, the assistant will duplicate it into the other small archive too, if the backup repo is not available to receive the file. I notice that these examples are fairly unlikely setups .. the old behavior was not too bad, but it's nice to finally have it really correct. .. Almost. I have skipped checking the annex.numcopies .gitattributes out of fear it will be too slow. This commit was sponsored by Florian Schlegel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all clones of a repository. * The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies git configs will be ignored. * assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies. This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content expressions operate on numcopies. It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings. (See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.) Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value. Will probably be useful for other stuff later. This commit was sponsored by Nicolas Pouillard.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | transferred. Similar to the assistant, this honors any configured preferred content expressions. I am not entirely happpy with the implementation. It would be nicer if the seek function returned a list of actions which included the individual file gets and copies and drops, rather than the current list of calls to syncContent. This would allow getting rid of the somewhat reundant display of "sync file [ok|failed]" after the get/put display. But, do that, withFilesInGit would need to somehow be able to construct such a mixed action list. And it would be less efficient than the current implementation, which is able to reuse several values between eg get and drop. Note that currently this does not try to satisfy numcopies when getting/putting files (numcopies are of course checked when dropping files!) This makes it like the assistant, and unlike get --auto and copy --auto, which do duplicate files when numcopies is not yet satisfied. I don't know if this is the right decision; it only seemed to make sense to have this parallel the assistant as far as possible to start with, since I know the assistant works.
