Problem
squirrel index and squirrel sync run silently and only print a single summary line when they finish. For large volumes that's a long, blind wait:
- Syncing a large volume over a slow network connection can take hours with no output at all until the final
transferred=… bytes=… run=… line. There's no way to tell how far along it is, the current rate, an ETA, or whether it has stalled.
index on a large volume hashes many GB with the same silence — no signal until the run completes.
Desired behavior
Live, throttled progress while the operation runs.
sync
- bytes transferred / total, transfer rate, ETA, files done/total
- rclone already computes all of this (its stats /
--progress), so this is largely a matter of surfacing rclone's stats stream instead of only reporting the final tally
- expose via a
--progress / -P flag, or auto-enable when stdout is a TTY and stay quiet otherwise
index
- files hashed / total (and/or bytes hashed), current path, rate
- emitted periodically (e.g. every N seconds) so it doesn't flood logs
Notes
- Keep it TTY-aware: the
agent and scripted/cron runs should stay quiet (the current single summary line is right for logs and runs). Progress output is for interactive use.
- The existing summary line (
status=… transferred=… checked=… errors=… run=…) should remain — this adds live feedback, it doesn't replace the final report.
