read_blob_stream / read_blob_range_stream reassembled a CDC file by fetching
its chunks with `buffered(1)` — strictly sequential, so the next chunk's
backend fetch (a file `open` locally; a full request round-trip on S3/Azure)
only started after the current chunk was fully drained.
A benchmark of the exact pipeline (stream::iter(chunks).map(get).buffered(K)
.try_flatten()) showed a blind `buffered(4)` is the WRONG fix: on a local
disk it is neutral on a warm page cache and ~37% SLOWER cold, because
concurrent opens turn one sequential read into several competing random-I/O
streams over content-addressed (scattered) chunk files. The win is entirely
on remote backends, where per-chunk request latency dominates and overlapping
fetches hide it (≈ linear in K).
So the read-ahead depth is now a backend hint, not a constant:
- BlobStorageBackend::read_prefetch() default 1 (sequential; safe for local).
- S3 / Azure override to 8 (overlap GETs to hide TTFB).
- cached / encrypted / retry / migration delegate to the backend that serves
the bytes.
- Both CDC read paths use `self.backend.read_prefetch().max(1)`.
Net: local backend unchanged (no regression); remote reassembly ~4-8x faster.
Ordered `buffered` (not buffer_unordered) keeps chunks in sequence.
Bench (per-chunk fetch-latency model): buffered(1)->(4)/(8) = x3.9 / x7.8
@1ms, x4.0 / x8.1 @5ms, x4.0 / x8.0 @20ms. Local warm: 230ms@1 vs 227ms@4
(noise); local cold: 425ms@1 vs 585ms@4 (why local stays at 1).

Phase 3 of the delta-sync plan — the inverse direction, so a future
client app holding an older local version can fetch only what changed:
- GET /api/files/{id}/manifest returns the file's chunk recipe
({file_hash, total_size, chunks}). Owner-scoped like the rest of the
delta surface (Read permission through the authz engine first, then
the chunk layer's possession standard; shared files use the regular
download endpoints). A manifest is immutable for a given file_hash,
so it is served with ETag = file_hash and If-None-Match answers 304 —
polling sync clients pay one header round-trip per unchanged file.
Legacy pre-CDC blobs are presented as a single-chunk manifest of
themselves, so clients need no special case.
- POST /api/files/delta/download streams the requested chunks as
[u32 BE length][bytes] frames in request order — the same wire format
the upload direction uses. Entitlement is the same possession rule as
negotiate/commit (chunks reachable through the caller's own files);
anything else returns 404 {not_available} — deliberately
indistinguishable from "never existed" — with a
delta_download.rejected audit event. Batches are bounded by the
chunk_max_bytes budget; Content-Length is exact (sizes come from the
dedup index) and peak RAM is one backend read frame.
Both endpoints share the delta rate limiter. New DedupService
primitives: manifest_chunk_list (with legacy fallback), chunk_sizes,
chunk_stream. OpenAPI regenerated; protocol doc gains the download
section; types.js maps the new wire shapes (plus the delta-upload
typedefs that a container reset had silently dropped from a previous
commit).
Verified end-to-end against PostgreSQL 16 with a simulated two-device
sync: device A uploaded 24 MB by bytes and delta-updated it (2 edits →
2 chunks); device B diffed the manifest against its WASM-chunked local
copy, needed 2/79 chunks, fetched 970 KB instead of 24 MB (96.1%
saved) and rebuilt the file byte-identical with the BLAKE3 verifying.
If-None-Match revalidation returned 304; a second user got 404 on both
the manifest and the chunk batch (with the not_available list and
audit lines); an unknown hash was indistinguishable from a denied one;
an empty hash list returned 400.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01WdNenpnujNR2sc32XVvwfS
Phase 1 of the delta-sync plan, server side. The CDC store already shares
unchanged chunks between file versions after the bytes arrive; these three
stateless endpoints move that detection to the client, so editing a few
bytes of a large file uploads ~1 MiB instead of the whole file:
- POST /api/files/delta/negotiate — given the file's chunk hashes, answer
which ones the caller must upload. User-scoped and purely advisory.
- PUT /api/files/delta/chunks — missing chunks as [u32 BE len][bytes]
frames (streaming parse, ≤1 MiB per frame, chunk_max_bytes per request).
Every hash is recomputed server-side; chunks land as ref_count=0 orphans
that a commit pins or the periodic GC sweeps — no session table.
- POST /api/files/delta/commit — pin one reference per distinct chunk with
a single UPDATE…RETURNING restricted to chunks the caller is entitled
to (reachable through their own non-trashed files, or unreferenced
orphans); anything else returns 409 {still_missing} for the client to
upload and retry. The pinned sequence is then RE-READ and the whole-file
BLAKE3 recomputed before any manifest exists — a declared file_hash is
never trusted, because a forged manifest would poison future whole-file
dedup hits for other users. The manifest accounting is shared with the
byte path (attach_manifest, extracted from store_from_stream); the file
row is created (201) or its content swapped by file_id (200). Owners of
the exact file_hash short-circuit to a pure reference bump.
Supporting pieces: GIN index on chunk_manifests.chunk_hashes (containment
probes were sequential scans), claimable/pin/release/store-loose/verify
primitives on DedupService, update-by-id with Update-permission AuthZ on
FileUploadService, per-caller rate limiter (240/min), audit events with
stable reasons (rate_limited, chunk_verification_failed,
file_hash_mismatch), OpenAPI + docs/delta-upload-protocol.md, framing
parser unit tests and a PG-gated integration suite covering the
entitlement matrix (owned/foreign/orphan/unknown), orphan registration
and the verification read.
Verified end-to-end against PostgreSQL 16 with a node client hashing via
the vendored WASM: a 24 MB file delta-committed in 96 fixed-size chunks;
a 3-byte edit then negotiated missing 1/96 and synced with 278 KB on the
wire vs 24 MB (98.9% saved), downloading byte-identical. A second user
probing the same chunks got nothing (negotiate: all missing; commit: 409
with all 96 still withheld); a forged file_hash returned 400 plus the
audit line; a commit referencing one never-uploaded chunk returned 409
naming exactly that hash; the GIN index serves containment probes
(Bitmap Index Scan) once the planner favors it.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01WdNenpnujNR2sc32XVvwfS
Every upload surface previously wrote each byte to disk twice: the HTTP
body was spooled to a temp file (or assembled from chunk parts), then
mmap-re-read for FastCDC analysis, and finally the new chunks were
written to the blob backend. CDC could not start until the last byte
arrived, so large uploads paid receive + reread + rewrite latency.
The dedup engine now chunks, hashes and settles the stream WHILE it
arrives (fastcdc AsyncStreamCDC + incremental BLAKE3):
- Each batch of distinct chunks is pinned-or-classified by ONE
`UPDATE … RETURNING` (no check-then-bump TOCTOU; pinned chunks can't
be reclaimed mid-upload), and only chunks the store doesn't have are
written — a full dedup hit performs zero content writes.
- Durability before visibility is preserved: one batched fsync sweep,
then one batched INSERT, then the manifest. Identical concurrent
uploads are resolved at the manifest INSERT via ON CONFLICT (the
loser releases its references and becomes a dedup hit).
- A drop guard rolls back pins and surfaces written-but-unregistered
chunks to GC if the request future is cancelled mid-stream.
- MIME sniffing now peeks the first bytes in-flight; client-requested
MD5/SHA-256 checksums are computed by a stream tee — the post-upload
re-read of the assembled file is gone.
All surfaces converge on the new interfaces::upload_ingest helper:
REST multipart, WebDAV PUT, NextCloud PUT, WOPI PutFile, the dedup
endpoint, and both chunked-upload completions (which now stream their
ordered parts straight into the store instead of writing an assembled
file — chunk parts persist until finalize, so completion is genuinely
retryable). The legacy blob re-chunk migration streams from the
backend with no spool file either.
Legacy removed: store_from_file + mmap CDC analysers + temp-path
plumbing through every port (pre_computed_hash, save_file_from_temp,
update_file_content_from_temp), upload_spool + assembled-file
assembly in both chunked services, create_file/update_file byte-slice
variants (no callers), common::temp, the OXICLOUD_UPLOAD_TMPDIR
config, and the memmap2 dependency.
Verified end-to-end against PostgreSQL 16: 8 MB upload (26 chunks),
identical re-upload (dedup hit, zero writes), 3-byte edit re-upload
(26 chunks, 1 written), byte-identical downloads, Range across chunk
boundaries, concurrent identical-upload race (manifest ref 2), and
trash-empty reclaiming exactly the unshared chunk while the shared 25
survive for the edited file. The empty/sub-8KB multipart path found a
post-EOF re-poll panic in the MIME peek (fixed with fuse + regression
test).
https://claude.ai/code/session_01WdNenpnujNR2sc32XVvwfS
Files uploaded before chunk_manifests landed (20260414000000) are stored
as ONE whole-file blob with no manifest. Every legacy fallback in
DedupService exists to serve them, and the cost concentrates on Range
reads: with encryption enabled, seeking inside a legacy video decrypts
the ENTIRE blob (AES-GCM is all-or-nothing), where a CDC file decrypts
only the overlapping <=1 MiB chunks.
This adds a one-time, idempotent background migration (spawned from the
composition root after dedup init, maintenance pool) that converts each
legacy blob into a regular CDC file, indistinguishable from a native
upload:
1. Spool the blob through the normal read path (decrypts when
encryption is on) to a per-attempt-unique temp file, verifying
BLAKE3 == hash; sizes come from the verified spool, never from the
legacy storage.blobs.size column (the manifest's total_size drives
Range arithmetic).
2. CDC-chunk + store chunks via the existing store_chunks (one
manifest reference per distinct chunk).
3. One short accounting TX with the blob row locked: manifest INSERT
with ref_count = N current file references, blob ref_count -= N,
row deleted only at exactly 0 - so single-chunk files (chunk hash
== file hash) keep the physical blob, which IS the chunk; only
bookkeeping moves, no bytes are rewritten.
4. Physical whole-file blob deleted only when its row dropped.
Races lean on the row lock: a concurrent identical upload landing a
legacy reference after commit keeps the blob row alive and that file
readable via the fallback (bounded space leak, never data loss); a
crash between chunk store and the TX over-counts one file's chunk refs
(also a bounded leak). Corrupt blobs (content != hash) are logged,
counted, excluded from the sweep and left untouched, with a hard cap
before aborting.
Per-hash failures never block the sweep; manifests are the resumability
marker, so a restart continues where it left off. The legacy read/write
fallbacks stay in place as the safety net while a deployment converges;
they can be deleted once fleets report "legacy re-chunk: nothing to do".
Opt-out via OXICLOUD_LEGACY_RECHUNK=false (documented in example.env)
for metered remote backends where the one-time re-read should be
scheduled deliberately.
Covered by five integration tests against real PostgreSQL (multi-chunk
accounting + Range across a chunk boundary, single-chunk physical-blob
preservation, corrupt-blob isolation, empty blob, and the full
encrypted-backend roundtrip); they run concurrently, which also
exercises the cross-sweep race handling.
https://claude.ai/code/session_0193Hff42gaA962wThxMGSd1
Storing a new file through CDC dedup issued sync_all + a parent-dir
fsync for every ~256 KB chunk (~8,200 fsyncs for a 1 GB upload), plus
one PG INSERT round-trip per chunk. The actual durability boundary is
the manifest INSERT: chunks only need to be durable before any PG row
references them, not one by one.
- BlobStorageBackend grows put_blob_from_bytes_unsynced + sync_blobs
with conservative defaults (unsynced delegates to the synced write,
sync_blobs is a no-op) so backends that don't opt in keep the
per-write durability semantics. Remote stores are durable on PUT.
- LocalBlobBackend writes chunks without fsync and implements
sync_blobs as a parallel sweep: every listed blob file (hard
requirement) plus each distinct prefix directory exactly once
(best-effort, same tier as fsync_parent_dir).
- DedupService::store_chunks writes new chunks unsynced, runs one
sync_blobs sweep, then registers all new chunks in ONE batched
UNNEST INSERT - durability before visibility, and the per-chunk PG
round-trips collapse into one.
- Encrypted/Migration decorators forward both methods so the
optimization survives encrypted-local and live-migration stacks.
https://claude.ai/code/session_013Bk4BMQEvR9QxCU7QXLRwv
store_chunks bumped storage.blobs.ref_count once per chunk *occurrence* (it
looped over the full chunk list, duplicates included), but
remove_manifest_reference decrements once per *distinct* chunk
(WHERE hash = ANY(chunk_hashes) matches each row a single time). For any file
that repeats a chunk -- zero-filled regions in disk/VM images, repeated
document structures, concatenated archives -- storing added +N while deleting
removed -1, so the blob's ref_count never returned to 0 and the chunk was
never garbage-collected: a permanent storage leak.
Count per distinct chunk on the store side too, matching deletion. This also
makes it faster:
- existing chunks: one batched `UPDATE ... WHERE hash = ANY($1)` instead of
one UPDATE per occurrence;
- a brand-new chunk repeated within a file is read, uploaded and INSERTed
once instead of once per occurrence.
The manifest still stores the full per-occurrence chunk sequence (needed to
reassemble the file). Forward fix: blobs already over-counted by the old path
stay over-counted (a reconcile/verify pass could recompute them), but the
bias is upward (leak), so no data is ever deleted early.
CDC tests pass (12); fmt + clippy clean.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01UtfkS3nZF1vrF5jNAps6wV
Large uploads (e.g. ~800 MB ISOs) could OOMKill the process, even on
dedup hits, due to three separate full-file-in-memory paths:
- NextCloud PUT (/remote.php/dav) buffered the entire body in RAM via
body::to_bytes before any dedup logic, then re-wrote and re-hashed it.
Now streams the body to a temp file with incremental BLAKE3 and goes
through update_file_streaming (shared spool helper with the native
WebDAV PUT handler); peak heap is ~one HTTP frame regardless of size.
- DedupService::store_chunks materialized every new chunk's data in a Vec
before uploading. Now reads each new chunk by positioned I/O
(read_exact_at, off the runtime via spawn_blocking) just before its
upload; peak heap bounded to ~CHUNK_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY x CDC_MAX_CHUNK.
- The upload spool used the OS temp dir, often tmpfs/RAM in containers
where its page-cache counts against the cgroup memory limit. Add
OXICLOUD_UPLOAD_TMPDIR to point the spool at real disk.
Also collapse a pre-existing clippy collapsible_else_if in carddav_handler.

Bug 1 & 2 (webdav_handler.rs handle_put() update branch):
- After a successful file update via WebDAV PUT, if the content type is a supported image:
a. delete_thumbnails(file_id) — evicts the stale moka cache entry
b. Spawns a background task to read the new blob bytes and call generate_all_sizes_background_from_bytes
Bug 3 & 4 (dedup_service.rs):
- Added thumbnail_service: Option<Arc<ThumbnailService>> field with a with_thumbnail_service() builder
- In remove_legacy_reference(): calls delete_blob_thumbnails(hash) when ref_count hits 0
- In remove_manifest_reference(): calls delete_blob_thumbnails(file_hash) when manifest's last ref is dropped
- Wired in di.rs — the thumbnail service is created before dedup service so the ordering works cleanly
Thumbnails are now keyed by blob_hash on disk so identical files share
a single set of thumbnails (icon/preview/large). For 4000 duplicate
files with the same content, this reduces thumbnail storage from 12,000
files to just 3.
Changes:
- get_thumbnail_path() keys by blob_hash instead of file_id
- get_thumbnail(), get_cached_thumbnail(), generate_all_sizes_background()
accept blob_hash parameter for disk dedup
- generate_all_sizes_background() fast path: if blob-hash thumbnails
already exist on disk, skip image processing entirely and just
populate moka cache for the new file_id
- delete_thumbnails() only invalidates moka cache (shared disk
thumbnails must not be deleted when one file is removed)
- delete_blob_thumbnails() added for GC; garbage_collect() now cleans
up orphaned thumbnail files alongside blob files
- External thumbnails (video frames) stored as ext-{file_id}.jpg
since they are client-generated and not dedup-able
- ThumbnailPort trait updated with blob_hash parameters
- All handler call sites updated (file_handler, preview_handler)
- Tests updated for new signatures
- Replace std::fs::read() + update_rayon() with update_mmap_rayon()
for file hashing, eliminating full-file heap allocation (500MB file
no longer needs 500MB of RAM to hash)
- Enable blake3 'mmap' feature in Cargo.toml
- Lower hash_bytes rayon threshold from 10MB to 128KB
- Remove dead constants HASH_BLOCK_SIZE and RAYON_HASH_THRESHOLD
- dedup_service: fall back to copy+delete when rename() fails with
EXDEV (os error 18), which occurs when temp and blob dirs are on
different filesystems
- NC webdav_handler: return 405 instead of 500 when MKCOL targets an
existing folder (RFC 4918 §9.3.1)
- JWT secret auto-generates and persists to <STORAGE_PATH>/.jwt_secret
- Remove setup token: first admin setup is open until system initialized
- Fix schema.sql: move CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm/ltree to top

Remove async-trait dependency and use native Rust async fn in traits.
Replace Arc<dyn Trait> with Arc<ConcreteType> throughout the codebase
to enable monomorphization and eliminate dynamic dispatch overhead.
Key changes:
- Remove write-behind cache (no implementation existed)
- Fix should_transcode static method call
- Use ContactStorageAdapter directly instead of dyn AddressBookUseCase
- Clean up unused trait imports across services and DI
https://claude.ai/code/session_01EbAFEfyJNLRmJHmmYDX3Tt
- WebDAV PUT and WOPI PutFile: replace sha2::Sha256 with blake3::Hasher (~5x faster hashing, compatible with dedup service)
- Fix TEXT↔UUID JOIN anti-pattern in favorites and recent_items repos (enables PK index usage)
- Add LIMIT 500 to get_favorites query to prevent unbounded memory allocation
- Remove unused lru crate from Cargo.toml (superseded by moka)
- Replace tokio features=["full"] with explicit feature list (removes signal, process, test-util)
- Replace basic TcpListener::bind with socket2 tuned socket
- TCP_NODELAY: disable Nagle's algorithm (-5 to 40ms latency on small responses)
- SO_REUSEADDR: port available immediately after server restart
- SO_REUSEPORT: ready for multi-worker scaling (Linux)
- TCP_KEEPALIVE: detect dead connections within 60s/10s interval
- listen(2048): high backlog for WebDAV connection bursts
- Eliminate redundant create_dir_all calls from upload hot path
- Replace SHA-256 with BLAKE3 (~5x faster) for content-addressable hashing
in dedup_service, file_handler, file_upload_service, chunked_upload_service
- Add mimalloc as global allocator for 10-30% throughput improvement
- sha2 crate retained only for PKCE (OAuth2 standard requirement)
- BLAKE3 produces 64-char hex hashes (same format), no DB schema changes needed
- Replace single unbounded DELETE FROM storage.blobs WHERE ref_count=0
with a loop of DELETE...LIMIT 500 batches using ctid sub-select
- Each batch is its own implicit TX (~1-5 ms), preventing:
· massive row-lock accumulation (was ~200 bytes × N orphans in PG)
· WAL bloat from a single giant DELETE
· blocking concurrent uploads on storage.blobs
- Blob files deleted AFTER each batch commits (crash-safe)
- tokio::task::yield_now() between batches to avoid starving uploads
Issue #3 (CRITICAL): The global RwLock<HashMap> serialised ALL chunk uploads
across all users. finalize/cancel/cleanup held a write lock during
fs::remove_dir_all (~100-500ms), blocking every concurrent upload.
Changes:
- Replace tokio::sync::RwLock<HashMap<String, UploadSession>> with
dashmap::DashMap (sharded concurrent map, ~64 shards)
- Operations on independent sessions never contend
- finalize_upload_inner: remove from map (µs), THEN delete temp dir
- cancel_upload_inner: same pattern — disk I/O outside lock
- cleanup_loop: collect expired IDs via lock-free iteration, remove
from map, THEN delete dirs sequentially with no lock held
- upload_chunk_inner: DashMap::get_mut replaces global write lock
- get_status_inner / complete_upload_inner: DashMap::get replaces read lock
- Remove tokio::sync::RwLock import (dead)
Also includes Issue #2 (dedup_service.rs write-first + upsert) from
previous session.
Impact: p99 latency under 50 concurrent uploads drops from ~500ms to <1ms
for cross-session contention. Cleanup loop no longer blocks uploads.
Two fixes in dedup_service.rs:
1. Rename error path (L234): std::fs::remove_file → tokio::fs::remove_file
Restructured from map_err closure to match block since .await
cannot be used inside a sync closure.
2. Integrity verify (L691): fused blocking .exists() + async metadata()
into a single fs::metadata().await call. Eliminates one stat()
syscall per blob AND removes the only remaining blocking I/O from
the verify_integrity hot loop (buffer_unordered × VERIFY_CONCURRENCY).
- Replace fetch_all() with fetch() streaming cursor in verify_integrity
so memory stays O(batch=16) instead of O(total_blobs)
- Replace fetch_all() with fetch() streaming cursor in garbage_collect
so memory stays O(1) instead of O(orphans)
- Add TryStreamExt import for try_next() on cursors
Eliminates OOM risk with millions of blobs — RAM usage is now constant
regardless of table size.
Replace sequential blob-by-blob SHA-256 verification with
futures::stream::buffer_unordered(16) to hash up to 16 blobs
concurrently.
Each hash_file() already runs on spawn_blocking, so 16 concurrent
verifications saturate both disk I/O queue and CPU cores.
Before: 10K blobs × 13ms = ~130s (NVMe) — 1 core, 1 I/O in flight
After: 10K blobs / 16 concurrency = ~8s — 16 cores, 16 I/O in flight
