Sync tries to delete excluded files

Renn · February 18, 2025, 12:54am

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Sync tries to delete a lot of excluded files.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.69.1

os/version: fedora 41 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 6.12.12-207.bazzite.fc41.x86_64 (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.24.0
go/linking: static
go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

OneDrive

The command you were trying to run (eg `rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp`)

./rclone sync backend:Apps/Steam /home/deck/ --filter-from /tmp/test.filter --copy-links --transfers 8 --checkers 16 --log-file /tmp/rclone.log --log-format none -vv --onedrive-av-override --dry-run

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[backend]
type = onedrive
drive_type = personal

A log from the command with the `-vv` flag

In the logs you can find rclone wants to delete files like .steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/nativeDX11x64/system/texture which is never included in the filter.

If it is not included than it is excluded, isn't it? Have a look at the last line of your filter.

Renn · February 18, 2025, 11:33am

Yes it's excluded, why would rclone want to delete an excluded folder though?

I'm aware of the flag --delete-excluded but it's not used in my command yet somehow it still wants to do that.

kapitainsky · February 18, 2025, 12:26pm

Need another coffee to start thinking clearly. I suggest you post full log where we can see what is going on.

Renn · February 18, 2025, 2:42pm

Ah sorry, shouldn't have used tmpfs for this log, here's the full one:

I had to change the remote to Dropbox because I cannot risk messing with my production drive again, but the issue is still present.

First I did a sync run to upload some totally unrelated files, the filter is here:

- *.cache
- cache/**
- Cache/**
- *.shader
- shader/**
- Shader/**
- *.log
- log/**
- Log/**
- logs/**
- Logs/**
- *.lock
- *.lck
- STORE
- temp/**
- Temp/**
- temporary/**
- Temporary/**
- CacheStorageKey.dat
+ /.steam/steam/userdata/*/760/screenshots.vdf
+ /.steam/steam/userdata/*/config/shortcuts.vdf
+ /.steam/steam/userdata/*/config/grid/**
+ /homebrew/plugins/**
+ /homebrew/settings/**
+ /homebrew/themes/**
- **

Then I sync again with the filter in OP to upload all files. Then I run the command from the OP to try to "pull remote changes down to local" and get the issue.

From the log, seems like only DEBUG : .steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/Tool: Excluded is actually excluded while all other folders in .steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC are missing for some reason? That's the last path being excluded.

kapitainsky · February 18, 2025, 3:11pm

could you also post rclone sync with extra --dump filters flag?

All log is not needed (it will be the same) but only the beginning where rclone will show how it uses filters.

Are these directories rclone attempts to delete empty?

As for the folders, they don't exist in Dropbox (source), and is not empty locally (destination):

$ ls ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/Tool
InstallerMessage.exe  InstallerMessage.vdf

This might be a culprit.

As a result real folders include rules are (as seen with --dump filters:

+ ^\.steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/$
+ ^\.steam/steam/steamapps/common/$
+ ^\.steam/steam/steamapps/$
+ ^\.steam/steam/$
+ ^\.steam/$

which catches /.steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/Tool for example

I think what you need is:

+ /.steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/data/**/
or
+ /.steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/data/**/*

Sorry I was looking at the wrong path. Changing to + /.steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/data/**/ doesn't seem to help, here's the new log and new output:

The number of files being removed remains the same (292), they are all in .steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/nativeDX11x64

kapitainsky · February 18, 2025, 4:27pm

I really do not like:) as I have to admit I struggle to grasp how exactly it works here. I will try to run few tests.

@asdffdsa, @Animosity022 - any chance you understand this situation here?

nielash · February 18, 2025, 6:40pm

Possibly related to this oddity?

Is .steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/nativeDX11x64/system/texture an empty directory?

If you add leading slashes to your filter rules, does that change this?

kapitainsky · February 18, 2025, 7:03pm

Thank you for looking into it. Help definitely is needed here.

Filtering rules are in the first post. It has leading slash

+ /.steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/data/**

And it was confirmed that directories are not empty.

This frankly all together behaves contrary to my filters understanding:)

kapitainsky · February 18, 2025, 7:06pm

One more thing. Could you run rclone ls instead? Does it include what you intended or also content of directories which are attempted to be deleted by sync?

./rclone ls backend:Apps/Steam --filter-from /tmp/test.filter --log-file /tmp/rclone.log --log-format none -vv

Renn · February 18, 2025, 7:18pm

here's the full output of the ls command, it doesn't include the folders rclone wants to delete (example .steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/nativeDX11x64/system/texture). And it is indeed not empty:

$ ls ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/TGAAC/nativeDX11x64/system/texture
compare_NUKI_NOMIP.tex  DefaultCube_CM.tex  detail_sysfont_AM_NOMIP.tex  sysfont_AM_NOMIP.tex

Renn · February 19, 2025, 2:21am

Shall I create an issue on GitHub?

kapitainsky · February 19, 2025, 6:55am

Yes. But what would help is simplified reproducible case.

Renn · February 19, 2025, 12:17pm

Sure I'll try to make a simpler case

I think I see the issue (the test zip was helpful, thank you)

Because of the ** wildcard in + /TGAAC/nativeDX11x64/**/*_jpn.* rclone has to recurse all subdirectories of /TGAAC/nativeDX11x64, because they might have files that match *_jpn.*. Rclone can't know this without listing them. When it does not find any such files in system or texture, it therefore sees these directories as "empty" (because all contents were filtered out). Because rclone thinks these dirs are "empty", it tries to remove them.

For example, note the difference in rclone tree output between this:

+ /TGAAC/TGAAC.exe
+ /TGAAC/data/**
+ /TGAAC/nativeDX11x64/**/*_jpn.*
- **

/
└── TGAAC
    ├── TGAAC.exe
    ├── data
    │   ├── DINPUT8.dll
    │   └── dgs.ini
    └── nativeDX11x64
        ├── archive
        │   └── font_jpn.arc
        └── system
            └── texture

and this:

+ /TGAAC/TGAAC.exe
+ /TGAAC/data/**
+ /TGAAC/nativeDX11x64/archive/*_jpn.*
- **

/
└── TGAAC
    ├── TGAAC.exe
    ├── data
    │   ├── DINPUT8.dll
    │   └── dgs.ini
    └── nativeDX11x64
        └── archive
            └── font_jpn.arc

The difference is because, in the second example, rclone does not have to recurse into /TGAAC/nativeDX11x64/system to look for matching files.

Is this a bug? I would say yes, but others might disagree. I think more accurately it is a holdover from the days when rclone did not care about directories and thus filters were only concerned with finding files. (While there have always been directory filters, these were thought of as rules about where to look for matching files -- not rules about matching directories themselves.) Now that rclone does properly care about directories, I would say it is probably time to change this behavior, as the first exmple above is pretty counterintuitive. Just because we searched a directory in vain doesn't mean the directory (without its contents) should be deemed "included".

Note also that ls is not showing you the problem because it only shows objects, not directories. If you instead use rclone lsf -R or rclone tree you should see it.

Renn · February 19, 2025, 5:09pm

Thanks a lot for the analyze! I'm wondering if this bisync trying to delete unrelated files is caused by the same reason, since I read somewhere that bisync has switched from copy to sync at some point. These files should not be traversed at they are not mentioned in the filter at all?
