Nick Craig-Wood 00bf6c19d8 drive: detect shortcut loops to avoid infinite recursion
A folder shortcut pointing at one of its own ancestor folders (for
example a shortcut to FolderX placed inside FolderX) made rclone recurse
forever when dereferencing shortcuts, duplicating the folder contents
until the disk was full.

Rclone now detects when a folder shortcut targets an ancestor directory
using the directory cache, leaves that shortcut out of the listing and
logs an ERROR, so the rest of the drive can still be copied.

Fixes #7118
Fixes #9565
Closes #9051

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.
