[bug] Cannot rename files/folders through reparse points

[Willem]

I'm happily using symbolic links but i cannot rename a file or folder through the symlink.

 

Example:

In folder D:\ServerFolder\Videos i've got a symlink called '#Vers' pointing to D:\ServerFolders\Public

 

>ren d:\ServerFolders\Videos\#Vers\test.txt test2.txt
A duplicate file name exists, or the file
cannot be found.

 

When I work through the gui, windows gives me the following error:

What exact version/build are you using of StableBit DrivePool?

 

And could you enable tracing on the pool? (gear icon -> troubleshooting -> Enable file system logging)

Or do this:

Logfiles uploaded. I'm using version 2.1.0.528 but have seen the behaviour since 2.1.0.432

[Christopher (Drashna)]

Thanks. What version of Windows 8 are you using (8.0, 8.1, or 8.1 Update, or the server versions of,  and 32 bit or 64 bit)?

 

I've created a request for Alex, so he'll see the tracing logs.

Server 2012 R2 Standard x64

I can confirm this problem (but not only renaming is a problem, also creating new files)

Same version etc, but my OS is WHS 2011.

[Willem]

Creating a new file ain't the problem, after creating windows asks for a filename which equals a rename and therein lies the problem. When creating a new textfile seems to fail, a newly created "New Text Document.txt" exists.

[Firefly]

You're right, it only creates "New Text Document.txt".

[Willem]

Some more odd behaviour I'm seeing. I tested with move to try and rename a file.

 

As before #vers is a symlink

 

\\homeserver\videos\#Vers\testing>dir
Directory of \\homeserver\videos\#Vers\testing

14-05-2014 21:43 <DIR> .
14-05-2014 21:43 <DIR> ..
14-05-2014 21:43 3 test.txt
1 File(s) 3 bytes

\\homeserver\videos\#Vers\testing>move test.txt test2.txt
Overwrite \\homeserver\videos\Vers\testing\test2.txt? (Yes/No/All): n
0 file(s) moved.

 

Why does it warn of overwriting a non-existing file?

Second test the real path

 

 

\\homeserver\public\testing>dir
Directory of \\homeserver\public\testing

14-05-2014 21:43 <DIR> .
14-05-2014 21:43 <DIR> ..
14-05-2014 21:43 3 test.txt
1 File(s) 3 bytes
 
\\homeserver\public\testing>move test.txt test2.txt
1 file(s) moved.

\\homeserver\public\testing>dir
Directory of \\homeserver\public\testing

14-05-2014 21:44 <DIR> .
14-05-2014 21:44 <DIR> ..
14-05-2014 21:43 3 test2.txt
1 File(s) 3 bytes

Alex is the one that is the "file system expert" here. 

 

However, what I do know is that renaming is probably one of the most tricky file system operations that you can perform.

It's complicated and can come back with a lot of issues.

 

As I said before, if you're experiencing ANY issues with the file system like this, then please enable tracing, reproduce the issue, and upload logs. This helps us to identify issues, so that we can fix them.

And also, make sure you're using 2.1.0.5xx (any of the "500" builds), if you're using Reparse points.

[Firefly]

I don't know why but if I enable tracing (gear icon -> Troubleshooting -> Enable file system logging) nothing gets logged.

At least not in the log folder ("C:\ProgramData\StableBit DrivePool").

 

I did a server restart at 10:50 and it gets logged (maybe not the restart itself but something else is). But after that there aren't any changes in the directory from above.

Maybe it's the wrong directory or am I doing something wrong?

 

I enabled tracing and created and moved a lot of files but there are no logs at all.

[Christopher (Drashna)]

Specifically, you should see stuff added to "C:\ProgramData\StableBit DrivePool\Service\Logs\CoveFS\".  

But if you could upload the entire folder anyways, just in case.

Confirmed and fixed. Thanks guys, nice catch.

Thanks. Which version (will) has (/have) the fix?

2.1.0.541 from today?

[Willem]

Works like a charm. Thanks for the quick fix.

[Firefly]

Okay, tried .541 and it's working. Thanks

[Alex]

Thanks. Which version (will) has (/have) the fix?

2.1.0.541 from today?

 

Yes, and for future reference, the link to the IAR always contains the version number under "CCR Implemented in". So that's why I post that link as well. For every code change request that I complete, I make a build and put the build number in the IAR.
