Please describe the problem.

When running fsck (fast or slow) from an S3 remote that has anonymous access and git-annex publicurl set, it fails only on the files that get chunked into multiple parts because they exceed the configured chunk size for the remote.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  • create repo
  • annex a file
  • set AWS creds as env vars
  • initremote S3 special remote with chunk size smaller than the file size and publicurl
  • push data (authenticated) to the S3 remote, ensure it get chunked.
  • unset AWS auth vars (and remove .git/annex/creds if necessary)
  • fsck from remote should fail on chunked file

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

git-annex version: 10.20250417-gfd493804c004f7facb4b99d4bf21ed49a081c5cf

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 indeed! :D
