Nick Craig-Wood 07313554bf b2: reduce default chunk size to 16M and increase upload concurrency to 8
The 96M default chunk size dates from 2016 when 100,000,000 bytes was
the minimum part size B2 allowed. The minimum is now 5,000,000 bytes.

Measurements against B2 EU on a 1 Gbit/s link show that each part has
a fixed overhead of about a second regardless of size, so throughput
is governed by chunk size multiplied by upload concurrency rather than
by chunk size alone. 16M chunks with concurrency 8 upload a 1 GiB file
as fast as 96M chunks with concurrency 4 while using a third of the
memory per transfer, and retry much less data when a part fails.

This also means that files between --multi-thread-cutoff and the chunk
size are no longer uploaded as a single part large file, which B2
rejects with "large files must have at least 2 parts", unless the
cutoff is set below 16M.

Docs

This directory tree is used to build all the different docs for rclone.

See the content directory for the docs in markdown format.

Note that some of the docs are auto-generated - these should have a DO NOT EDIT marker near the top.

Use hugo to build the website.

Changing the layout

If you want to change the layout then the main files to edit are

  • layout/index.html for the front page
  • chrome/*.html for the HTML fragments
  • _default/single.md for the default template
  • page/single.md for the page template

Running make serve in a terminal give a live preview of the website so it is easy to tweak stuff.
