### Please describe the problem.
|
|
|
|
First of all, I don't really believe the following is a good bug report, from my own career in SW development. I know what to do. However, this is a start to test the waters; I received no response in the general forum (not a complaint), but I am not sure if this is simply one of those issues for which the solution is so simple, that no one can bring themselves to reply.
|
|
|
|
I can provide further detail, like console copies, but I figured that providing the config output to be a good first step. Apologies for the format of the config file: it was copied fine, but pasted on one line.
|
|
|

It seems thinning is not doing what I expected:
|
|
|
|
Which is: unlocking a file creates a hard link in the working directory, linked to the annex file, with the resulting dir size being the size of the one big file.
|
|
|
|
Are my expectations correct?
|
|
|
|
Is there something I am missing?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
|
|
|
|
copied a big file to the working directory
|
|
|
|
git add; git commit
|
|
|
|
Locking the big file creates the symlink, with the file in the annex.
|
|
|
|
Unlocking the big file creates a real file in the working dir, and the annex file stays there.
|
|
|
|
The total dir is therefore twice the size of the big file.
|
|
|
|
ls -li shows a unique inode for each file. Therefore it appears to not be a hard link.
|
|
|

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
|
|
|
|
You bet. It is simply great. I am in the process of migrating all my big data. I have roughly 6TB, and it is taking me many weeks.
|
|
|
|
I am creating a typical duplicate topology. 2 remotes, 2 backup nodes. Multiple clients, each connected to the 2 remotes. Each client will only clone the repos or parts thereof that are relevant to that client.
|
|
|
|
I have multiple clients on multiple VMs. I generally separate functions to VMs. I.e. postgresql to a pair of VMs; etc. Poorly behaving apps like iTunes to its very own penalty box win VM. HA to its own VM. etc.
