This should put an end to the phenomenon I've been seeing that a single hung server can cause all downloads on a grid to hang. Also it should speed up all downloads by (a) not-waiting for responses to queries that it doesn't need, and (b) downloading shares from the servers which answered the initial query the fastest.
Also, do not count how many buckets you've gotten when deciding whether the download has enough shares or not -- instead count how many buckets to *unique* shares that you've gotten. This appears to improve a slightly weird behavior in the current download code in which receiving >= K different buckets all to the same sharenumber would make it think it had enough to download the file when in fact it hadn't.
This patch needs tests before it is actually ready for trunk.
Having both test_node() and test_client() (one of which calls the other) felt
confusing to me, so I changed it to have test_node(), test_client(), and a
common do_create() helper method.
This patch displays a warning to the user in two cases:
1. When special files like symlinks, fifos, devices, etc. are found in the
local source.
2. If files or directories are not readables by the user running the 'tahoe
backup' command.
In verbose mode, the number of skipped files and directories is printed at the
end of the backup.
Exit status returned by 'tahoe backup':
- 0 everything went fine
- 1 the backup failed
- 2 files were skipped during the backup
Fix a few bitrotten pieces in the FUSE test script. It now configures tahoe
node settings by editing tahoe.cfg which is the new supported method.
It alos tolerate warnings issued by the mount command, the cause of these
warnings is the same as in #876 (contrib/fuse/runtests.py doesn't tolerate
deprecations warnings).
allmydata.util.log.err() either takes a Failure as the first positional
argument, or takes no positional arguments and must be invoked in an
exception handler. Fixed its signature to match both foolscap.logging.log.err
and twisted.python.log.err . Included a brief unit test.
Stop checking separately for ConnectionDone/ConnectionLost, since those have
been folded into DeadReferenceError since foolscap-0.3.1 . Write
rrefutil.trap_deadref() in terms of rrefutil.trap_and_discard() to improve
code coverage.
