A copy inside the mount went through the kernel's read/write loop, one
FUSE round trip per page, because copy_file_range answered ENOSYS. The
daemon now copies a range whose source bytes are local (an open write
handle, a queued write, the cache) into the destination's scratch file,
the same way write stages them. A range it would have to download gets
EOPNOTSUPP, which makes the kernel copy that one call itself and keeps
the operation enabled. The copy still uploads: Drive cannot copy into a
file cp has already created.
In the simulation, a warm cp of a 256 MiB file went from about
100 MiB/s to about 450 MiB/s (debug build).
A mirror upload that Drive did not list yet when it was read back left a
baseline row with no revision id. The next walk reused the recorded size
whenever the modification time matched, and a row without an id never
counts as moved. So a revision another computer saved in the same second
looked unchanged and never arrived (B254). The B250 simulation hit this
about one run in five on CI.
A row without an id now reuses its size only while Drive gives no id
either. Otherwise the walk reads the size, and an unchanged file gets
Drive's revision id written into its row, so each row costs one extra
read. Rows from before schema 44 are read once after upgrading.
The app read the session with `auth::load().ok()`, so a locked keyring, a
Secret Service that was not up yet or any D-Bus error showed the sign-in
form as if nobody were signed in. The session was still saved (B253).
Keyring errors are now kept apart from "not signed in". The login page
shows a banner saying the saved sign-in could not be read, with a Retry
button. The app tries again after 2, 5, 10 and 30 seconds and opens on
Files once the keyring answers. The login page's header also loses the
back button the collapsed split gave it.
Translated into every shipped language.
Add B248 to B252 to the bug ledger, the shared-device feature and schema 44
to the 3.5.0 changelog, and describe the join flow, per-machine profiles,
conflict copy names and the mirror's multi-writer rules in the user guide,
recovery guide, CLI and configuration references and the architecture notes.
A Takeout photo with no sidecar and no date in its name was filed under
the day of the import, and the app dated uploads by modification time.
A new `exiftime` module reads DateTimeOriginal (then DateTimeDigitized)
with its offset. Takeout uses it for undated photos it copies out for a
thumbnail, and the daemon uses it for app uploads before falling back to
the modification time (B244).
Opening a file or a location stat'ed the mount on the GTK main thread, so
a hung mount hung the app. The browser now uses the launcher's bounded
worker check (`present_within`, 2 s), and opening a location runs on a
thread. Every child the GUI starts is also waited for on a thread, so it
no longer stays a zombie (B243).
The viewer decoded each full-size photo, read its EXIF and stat'ed it on
the GTK main thread, freezing the app for a large photo. That now runs in
gio::spawn_blocking, and a result for a photo the user has left is
dropped (B242).
The viewer's handlers held strong references to the viewer and its
window, which own them, so every closed viewer stayed in memory with its
full-size photo. The share dialog's row handlers had the same cycle with
the dialog state. The handlers now hold weak references, and the viewer's
one strong handle is dropped on close with the photo (B241).
Only `pdfs daemon` marked itself non-dumpable, though `mount`, `login`,
`unlock` and `logout` hold the same passphrases or tokens. All five now
do. The file-manager script also passes each path after `--`, so a file
named like an option stays a path (B240).
`import-google-photos --wait` and `redate-photos --wait` exited 0 however
the run ended, and a run that failed as a whole left no summary, so the
CLI said no import had run and the app said it finished. Failed runs now
leave a summary with the reason, `--wait` exits 1 on failure, cancel or
failed photos, and the app shows the reason (B239).
The name checks the drain makes before each create, rename and trash,
and the wake of ops waiting for a name, read the whole queue, which made
a large offline batch quadratic to drain. Schema 43 adds an index on
pending_op(kind, name) (B238).
A reconnect made every failed op due at once, quota and access refusals
included, and ops that failed together retried in the same second. The
doubling also stopped at 128 s, short of the 300 s maximum. Reconnects
now move up only unrefused ops, and the backoff reaches its maximum with
a per-op spread of up to a fifth (B237).
Takeout imports, re-dates and the app's photo upload all sent an empty
thumbnail list, so the photos showed blank in Proton's apps. Re-dates and
app uploads now make thumbnails from their file. A Takeout photo that can
have one is copied out of the archive to the private staging folder,
thumbnailed and uploaded from the copy (B236).
Each photo was ranked against every sidecar in its folder, so a folder
of 10,000 photos took about 30 s to scan. The sidecars are now indexed
by stem and each photo is ranked only against the stems a few range
lookups return: 0.1 s for the same folder, with the same matches (B235).
Nothing stopped `/`, the home folder, the Proton Drive mount, the app's
own state or cache, or a folder nested in another root from becoming a
sync root, and a restore took a path from another machine's profile as
it was. One validator, `syncroot::problem`, now runs where roots are
added and restored, on paths resolved through symlinks with `..`
refused (B234).
Logout only deleted the keyring entry, so the session's tokens stayed
valid on Proton's side. It now ends the session first (DELETE auth/v4,
bounded to 10 s) and signs out locally either way. `pdfs logout` says
when Proton could not be reached (B233).
Rows, toasts and status page descriptions parse their text as markup by
default. Shared item names, inviter addresses, device names, link URLs,
paths, EXIF values and daemon errors went in unescaped, so a name with
`&` showed as an empty row and other names were drawn as markup. Those
rows and toasts now use plain text, and status page descriptions are
escaped (B232).
The upload deadline assumed at least 32 KiB/s. Under an upload cap shared
by every drain worker and sync task, a large file ran out of time on every
attempt, took the mount offline and restarted from byte 0. The deadline
now counts the upload's share of the cap as the slowest rate when that
share is lower (B231).
- A gap-filled revision blob is recorded as complete once filled, so a
retry after a lost upload answer recognises its own bytes on Drive
instead of forking a conflict copy (B228).
- Commits that accept a change into the queue run at synchronous=FULL,
so an op `close()` reported as done survives a power cut (B229).
- A queued create's adoption window starts at its first send, not when
it was queued, so a create queued offline no longer takes another
device's empty node of the same name. A send record that does not
parse is kept instead of overwritten (B230).
A read on a write handle was answered on the dispatch loop to keep its
order with the handle's writes, and when the bytes it asked for were
neither written nor cached it downloaded them there, holding every request
of the mount for up to the read deadline. The loop now answers from the
scratch file and the local caches only, and hands a read that needs a
download to a transfer worker with the handle as it was when the read came
in (B227).
Thumbnails were decoded without the EXIF orientation, so a portrait photo
stored as landscape pixels plus a tag got a sideways tile, and the drain
uploaded that thumbnail to Drive for every client to show (B226).
The prefix rule for sidecars whose names Google cut at 51 characters also
matched names that were never cut, so IMG_1.jpg's sidecar gave its title
and date to an IMG_12.jpg that had none. It now applies only to a sidecar
name at the cap. Edited copies, which have no sidecar of their own, take
their original's date by a rule of their own and keep their own name
(B225).
load_config gives defaults for a file it cannot read, and every setter
loads, changes one field and saves. The first settings change after the file
was damaged therefore wrote defaults over the mountpoint, the adopted device
and the ignore rules. save_config now refuses while the file on disk does
not parse, and the first-run default is written atomically with mode 0600
(B223).
flush answered ok at once and release synced the scratch file, but close(2)
only returns what flush answers, so a full disk at close was reported to
nobody. flush now syncs a handle with writes on a worker and returns ENOSPC,
EDQUOT or EIO; release then finds the pages on disk instead of writing a
whole file back on the dispatch loop. fsync on a descriptor opened for
reading no longer fails with EBADF (B222).
fallocate passed any mode through and tracked only a punched hole or
growth: a zeroed range came back from the remote base at commit, and a
collapse or insert corrupted the file. Unsupported modes now get EOPNOTSUPP,
zeroed ranges count as written, the real errno is returned, and the state
lock is not held across the syscall (B224).
A cold listing allocated the local id of every new child in a write
transaction while it held the global state lock, then marked the folder
listed, still under it. Every inline handler of every mount waited on that
transaction, and the transaction on the write connection the drain shares.
The ids are now allocated before the lock is taken, and the folder is marked
listed through the outbox after its children's rows, so a crash in between
no longer leaves it recorded as complete and empty (B221).
A shared folder's listing is fetched again once it is a minute old, and that
fetch ran on the dispatch loop whenever the old listing was still resident,
so every request on the mount waited for Drive (B219).
Thumbnail downloads, size upgrades and the Shared with me listing had no
deadline of their own. On a stalled link each held a mount thread for the
SDK's retry budget, and a folder of photos filled the three metadata workers
that every cold lookup and rename needs. Offline, an uncached thumbnail is
now answered as absent, and these calls give up after 20 or 60 seconds
(B220).
PRAGMA integrity_check and the row counts behind pdfs cache inspect read
the whole file, 34 s on a 567 MiB database, and they held the write
connection while they did. Every write in the daemon waited behind them.
They now read a WAL snapshot on a pooled read connection (B218).
FTS5 keeps deleted entries until their segments are merged, which with
these indexes is close to never. On one machine local_fts held 317 MiB for
40,000 paths, against 20 MiB rebuilt, and search ran four times slower. The
indexes are now compacted once a day after a local scan. A scan that hit the
entry cap or lost a batch no longer prunes the paths it never reached, which
the next scan used to add back (B217).
A database SQLite reported as corrupt at open was moved aside and replaced
by an empty one, on the grounds that everything in it is fetched again. The
queue of writes Drive has not received, the mirror baselines and the pins
are not, so they were lost. They are now copied out of the damaged file,
read only and table by table, into the new one (B216).
Five ways a mirror pass could lose files:
- A folder deleted on Drive was removed here with everything in it, including
new files and edits whose uploads had just failed for want of a parent, and
ignored content such as .git. Such a folder now stays and is created on
Drive again (B211).
- A node the SDK could not decrypt was missing from the remote walk and so
read as deleted on Drive. A short listing or an unreadable size now leaves
the affected paths out of the pass, and a pass in which no synced path is
left on Drive is refused (B212).
- A file Drive deleted was removed here even when it had been edited since
the scan. It is now checked again first, and kept (B213).
- A folder deleted here was trashed on Drive although another device had just
put new files in it. It now stays on Drive (B214).
- A decrypted name holding / or .. became a path outside the sync folder, and
failed the whole listing in the mount. Such names are left out (B215).
Issue #40: after a password reset the daemon failed every mount with
"failed to decrypt: missing key", and the app waited on "Connecting…"
because control.sock was never created. proton-drive-rs 0.9.1 now
creates a new My Files volume when no active regular volume is left,
as the web client does.

Proton answers a sign-in it blocks for abuse or rate limits with code
2028 and the text "This version of the app is no longer supported". The
SDK read 2028 as Unknown, so the app passed that text through and told
users to update a current release (issues #28, #39).
- deps: proton-sdk and proton-drive-rs 0.8.3, which name 2028 Blocked
- core: error::sign_in_blocked detects it
- gui: the login page says Proton is refusing sign-in for now and that
waiting helps, translated in every catalog
- cli: pdfs login adds the same hint to the error
- cli: pdfs diagnose warns instead of failing when cache.db does not
exist yet; the daemon creates it after the first sign-in
- docs: BUGS.md B209, changelog, troubleshooting entry
A folder pin reads each file's modification time and size before it
downloads the file. If the file's create landed during the download, the
landing set Drive's time, and the pin then stored the blob under the old
time. The file showed as kept offline but read as stale.
After each download, the pin now compares the file's time and size with
the tree's. If they changed, it downloads the file again under the new
values, at most three times.
The simulation gains FakeClient::hold_next_download to force that order.
The account run of 3.3.0 failed "move refuses a file still being
written" on the on-demand to mirror pairing: pdfs move moved the folder
while open.txt in it was open for writing, and the write landed after
the move.
retire_create re-keys a landed create's nodes row to the real uid first
and repoints the tree and the open write handles after. A file opened in
between holds a handle with the placeholder uid. has_pending_work_under
placed each open handle by looking its uid up in the nodes table, which
no longer has the placeholder, so it saw nothing open under the folder,
and with the queue already empty the move went ahead. Open handles are
now placed in the in-memory tree by inode, which a landing create does
not change.
The simulation test holds the drain at that point with the new
FakeClient::hold_next_landing_of_any, and fails without the fix.
A package upgrade replaces the binaries but does not restart the user
service, so the daemon keeps the old release and its bugs until the next
login. On 3.2.0 the reporter of #33 still saw "Couldn't sync Documents:
read .../snapshots/37: Permission denied", which only a daemon older than
3.2.0 can produce: since then the scan leaves an unreadable subfolder out
and only an unreadable sync root fails the pass (B206).
The daemon now reports its release in Status; one from before the field
omits it, which reads as older. When the daemon is older than the
front-end, the tray says "Update not finished - restart Proton Drive" and
offers a restart, the sync card shows "Restart to finish updating" with a
Restart button, and pdfs status and pdfs diagnose print the systemctl
command. A newer daemon is not flagged, since then the front-end is the
stale one.
Refs #33
Every SDK error that was not an API reply was classified as Offline.
Only a transport failure is. An upload on an account without a photo
library fails in the SDK before any request, and the app said "You're
offline" while every other call worked (issue #38).
Classify by variant: Transport is Offline, InvalidOperation is Invalid,
Serialization is Remote, Crypto and KeysLocked are Internal. The daemon
logs a failed photo upload, and the Photos page greys out Upload when
the account has no photo library.
docs/BUGS.md B205.
A partial write whose base was not in the content cache queued an
incomplete revision, and every write open over it was refused with EIO
until the drain uploaded it. CI's one-client-lan simulation hit this on
seed 1: a create over a file whose partial edit had not drained yet.
The write open now copies the blob and fills its gaps from the remote
base with Core::fill_gaps, as the drain does, and fails only when that
fill fails (B204).

A rotation the keyring refused was retried and kept in the kernel
keyring, but only the log said so, and a reboot before the keyring took
it still signed the user out.
`Response::Status` carries `tokens_unsaved` while one waits. The tray
says "Sign-in not saved — unlock your keyring" and needs attention, the
app's status says the same, `pdfs status` prints a Keyring line and
`pdfs diagnose` warns. New strings are translated in every catalog
(B61).
A rotation the Secret Service refused lived only in the daemon's
memory, so a crash or SIGKILL before the retry landed lost the only live
refresh token.
Keep it in the kernel keyring as well until it is written. The next
resume, by the daemon or `pdfs unlock`, puts it back in when the stored
blob still holds the refresh token it spent, and writes it; one left
over from an older login is dropped. `kernelkey` now holds named keys,
the passphrases and the unsaved tokens (B61).
`pdfs unlock` resumes the daemon's session and may refresh it. The
daemon then holds a spent refresh token, and since B202 a refusal of it
read as an expired session although the keyring held a live one.
Before calling a refused session expired, compare the keyring with what
this process last stored. When it holds a newer rotation or another
login, end the mount with `MountOutcome::ResumeStored` and mount again
from the keyring. A rotation another process already wrote counts as
this session's, so the daemon keeps writing its later ones (B203).
A failed keyring write after a refresh was only a warning, and the one
live refresh token then lived in memory only (B61). The sink now keeps
the rotation as unsaved and retries it in the background after 1 s, 5 s,
30 s and then every 5 minutes, until it is written or the blob has moved
on. The refusal is logged as an error naming `pdfs login`.
docs/BUGS.md B61.
A refresh token Proton refused, or a deleted or disabled account, was
treated as a lost connection: the mount came up "offline", the probe
retried forever and logged only at debug, and nothing told the user that
only signing in again helps (issue #35).
session_revoked() names those errors. The root fetch, probe, drain,
event poll, event seed and photos root now set session_expired, log one
warning naming `pdfs login`, and stop retrying. Cached files stay
readable and changes stay queued.
Response::Status carries session_expired (serde default false). The
tray shows "Session expired — sign in again" with a Sign In Again…
item that opens the app's sign-in page; the app's status and Sync card
say the same with a button. `pdfs status` and `pdfs diagnose` report it.
New strings are translated in every catalog.
docs/BUGS.md B202.
Proton refresh tokens are single-use. store_tokens replaced the tokens of
whatever blob was stored, so after `pdfs login` restarted the daemon, the
old daemon's shutdown persist wrote its spent tokens into the new
session's blob, and the new daemon failed with InvalidRefreshToken
(issue #35). `pdfs unlock` and the legacy migration had the same shape.
Each session now writes through a TokenSink that only touches a blob
with its session id that still holds the refresh token it last left
there. Shutdown only flushes a rotation the keyring refused. unlock and
migrate_legacy re-read the blob after verifying.
docs/BUGS.md B201.
Offline or paused, a drain worker claims nothing and then slept until the
earliest queued op fell due. Every queued op was already due and nothing
attempted it, so the wait was zero and all 16 workers spun on the queue
for the whole outage (issue #35: 17 min of CPU in 2 min 16 s).
A worker that claims nothing now sleeps the full idle poll; a reconnect
or resume wakes it. earliest_due_at also uses the claim's exclusions, so
an op held behind a claimed op on the same node no longer counts as due.
docs/BUGS.md B200.
Stop Sharing removes the link, invitations and members but cannot delete
the share itself, and Drive keeps listing the empty share until its
backend removes it, minutes later.
The daemon now leaves a share with no member, invitation or link out of
the listing (unless a lookup failed, so a live share is never hidden),
and the app drops stopped items from the page as soon as the requests
succeed instead of waiting for the slow reload.
An unreadable subfolder, such as a container's root-owned cache, failed
every pass of its synced folder, so nothing else in the tree reached
Drive (#33, B196). The scan now leaves such a path out, together with an
entry that vanished mid-scan and a name that is not UTF-8, and the pass
drops everything under it from classification, the wipe guard and the
push pass's deletions. It is never read as deleted and never downloaded
into. An unreadable or absent root still fails the pass. The activity
feed names unreadable paths once each time the set changes.
Two related bugs on the way to online-only:
- The push pass read deletions from the raw baseline, so a synced path
that later became ignored was trashed on Drive (B197).
- The switch evicted everything once the folder was idle, including
ignored paths such as .git/, symlinks, unreadable folders and files
changed after the pass, none of which are on Drive (B198). It now
refuses and names the path.
Closes#33
