Please describe the problem.

I ran git annex fsck --json. I have some files that are lacking numcopies. I get output in stderr, but no error details in the json body.

For example:

{"command":"fsck","success":false,"key":"SHA256E-s165540--ddcf7ce58593667e1b836e2a7f28a9f5227f3d9ba46cf8f98c7ab9dd26ef1896.jpg","error-messages":[],"file":"2022/12/04/chandrian_10:06:41.jpg","dead":[],"untrusted":[],"input":["2022/12/04/chandrian_10:06:41.jpg"]} Only 2 of 5 trustworthy copies exist of 2022/12/04/chandrian_11:05:20.jpg Back it up with git-annex copy.

It would be great if error-messages contained all the details for failures. Thank you

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  • create a new repo
  • annex a file
  • set numcopies to 2 or whatever
  • git annex fsck --json

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Yes! Git annex is amazing and is managing over 10 TB of data across 5 git annexes and around 10 hard drives. No data loss this entire time -- over 8 years.
