Every so often we get requirements for creating
directories/prefixes and we end up rejecting
such requirements. This PR implements this and
allows empty directories without any new file
addition to backend.
Existing lower APIs themselves are leveraged to provide
this behavior. Only FS backend supports this for
the time being as desired.
Since go1.8 os.RemoveAll and os.MkdirAll both support long
path names i.e UNC path on windows. The code we are carrying
was directly borrowed from `pkg/os` package and doesn't need
to be in our repo anymore. As a side affect this also
addresses our codecoverage issue.
Refer #4658
This commit makes fsDeleteFile() simply call deleteFile() after calling
the relevant path length checking functions. This DRYs the code base.
This commit removes the Stat() call from deleteFile(). This improves
performance and removes any possibility of a race condition.
This additionally adds tests and a benchmark for said function. The
results aren't very consistent, although I'd expect this commit to make
it faster.
This change adopts the upstream fix in this regard at
https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/41834/ for Minio's
purposes.
Go's current os.Stat() lacks support for lot of strange
windows files such as
- share symlinks on SMB2
- symlinks on docker nanoserver
- de-duplicated files on NTFS de-duplicated volume.
This PR attempts to incorporate the change mentioned here
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20100212-00/?p=14963/
The article suggests to use Windows I/O manager to
dereference the symbolic link.
Fixes#4122
This is a consolidation effort, avoiding usage
of naked strings in codebase. Whenever possible
use constants which can be repurposed elsewhere.
This also fixes `goconst ./...` reported issues.
