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
Do not attempt to fetch volume/drive information for
each i/o situation. In our case we do this in all calls
`posix.go` this in-turn created a terrible situation for
windows. This issue does not affect the i/o path on Unix
platforms since statvfs calls are in the range of micro
seconds on these platforms.
This verification is only needed during startup and we
let things fail at a later stage on windows.
Previously checkDiskFree() checks for free available space. This
patch enables checkDiskFree() also checks for free inodes in linux and
free clusters in windows.
Fixes#2075
- limit list buckets to limit only 100 buckets, all uppercase buckets
are now lowercase and work transparently with all calls.
- Change disk.Stat to disk.GetInfo and return back disk.Info{} struct.
- Introduce new ioutils package which implements ReadDirN(path, n),
ReadDirNamesN(path, n)
