Since go1.8 os.RemoveAll and os.MkdirAll both support long
path names i.e UNC path on windows. The code we are carrying
was directly borrowed from `pkg/os` package and doesn't need
to be in our repo anymore. As a side affect this also
addresses our codecoverage issue.
Refer #4658
Looks like if we follow pattern such as
```
_ = rlk
```
Go can potentially kick in GC and close the fd when
the reference is lost, only speculation is that
the cause here is `SetFinalizer` which is set on
`os.close()` internally in `os` stdlib.
This is unexpected and unsual endeavour for Go, but
we have to make sure the reference is never lost
and always dies with the server.
Fixes#4530
This patch also reverts previous changes which were
merged for migration to the newer disk format. We will
be bringing these changes in subsequent releases. But
we wish to add protection in this release such that
future release migrations are protected.
Revert "fs: Migration should handle bucketConfigs as regular objects. (#4482)"
This reverts commit 976870a391.
Revert "fs: Migrate object metadata to objects directory. (#4195)"
This reverts commit 76f4f20609.
This change adopts the upstream fix in this regard at
https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/41834/ for Minio's
purposes.
Go's current os.Stat() lacks support for lot of strange
windows files such as
- share symlinks on SMB2
- symlinks on docker nanoserver
- de-duplicated files on NTFS de-duplicated volume.
This PR attempts to incorporate the change mentioned here
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20100212-00/?p=14963/
The article suggests to use Windows I/O manager to
dereference the symbolic link.
Fixes#4122
