The SDK caches each node, including the name hash it sends with the next
rename or move, and only an event evicts it. Renames and moves didn't
update that copy. So after a rename, the next change to the same node
went out with the old name hash, Drive refused it as out of date (422),
and the retry kept sending the stale hash until the event feed came
round, up to 10 seconds later.
- Every remote rename and move goes through `Core::rename_remote` or
`Core::move_remote`. Both drop the SDK's copy of the node after a
successful change and before each out-of-date retry, so the retry
sends the current hash.
- A plain move was not retried at all, so a move right after a rename
failed with EIO through the mount and with "out of date" from
`pdfs move`. It now retries like a rename.
- The drain's combined move-and-rename also drops the SDK's copy once
it lands.
- A rename that also changes folders through the mount replies only
once both halves have landed. When the move fails, the file keeps
its new name in the source folder, the tree is told so, and the
rename reports EIO. A dropped link still queues the change.
B111's cause in docs/BUGS.md is corrected to the same SDK cache. The
acceptance case "regression B121" renames and moves a file at once
through the mount and through `pdfs`, and checks names and bytes.
- B114: `pdfs rm`, `pdfs rename` and `pdfs move` tell each kernel
session that the old name is gone, so it stops resolving at once
instead of for up to 30 seconds (`Core::forget_everywhere`,
`Core::relocate_everywhere`).
- B115: `pdfs ls` and the app's file browser wait up to 10 seconds for
the listing's size fetch, as `stat` does, so they show a file's real
size instead of its encrypted one.
- B116: trashing a folder also drops the creates queued in its
subfolders. A parked one stayed queued with its bytes, and a due one
would have landed in the root.
- B117: `pdfs move` and `pdfs rename` move the node in each mount
instead of forgetting it, so its queued upload keeps its path in
`pdfs sync queue` and is not put off once after the resume.
- B118: when a create or mkdir reads back nothing, the mount asks again
and then queues it as it does offline, instead of failing with ENOENT
for something Drive has made.
- B119: a landed upload keeps its staged bytes as the file's cached
content, unless it is larger than a sixteenth of the cache, so
reading a file just written does not need the network.
- B120: a landed folder's row passes to its real uid in the same
transaction, so a file queued inside it is not put off for five
seconds.
docs/BUGS.md records B117 to B120. The account run of 2026-10-03
verified B114 to B117 and B119 in My files.
- A mirror download first copies the file out of the content cache when the
same revision is cached whole or block by block, so moving a file out of an
on-demand folder into a mirror costs no traffic for what was already read.
- `pdfs move a b c DEST` moves every source, reports each failure and exits
non-zero if any failed.
- Mirror-to-mirror moves rename with RENAME_NOREPLACE, so a name that
appeared at the destination after the check is never overwritten.
- The local copy a move out of a mirror drops is checked again just before
it is deleted; anything written into it meanwhile keeps the copy and is
uploaded as new by the next pass.
A move request with two absolute paths is resolved against every
location (My files, on-demand and mirror synced folders) and made as a
server-side move_node. The local side is levelled afterwards: mounts
forget and re-list, a mirror folder renames its copy and baseline along
or drops the copy once Drive holds it.
Anything only this disk holds is refused up front: queued ops, open
writes, unsynced or ignored mirror files and symlinks. The GUI Move
dialog gains a top-level list of locations.
