Not directly relevant for pgbackrest probably, but I noticed that
Alpine comes up in a few reports of failing rm -r on CIFS. I think it
might be because BSD and GNU rm use fts to buffer pathnames in user
space (narrow window), while Alpine uses busybox rm which has a
classic readdir()/unlink() loop:
https://github.com/brgl/busybox/blob/master/coreutils/rm.c
https://github.com/brgl/busybox/blob/master/libbb/remove_file.c
As for CIFS, there are lots of reports of this sort of thing from
Linux CIFS clients. I am suspicious of the 32 bit monotonic
resume_key apparently being used to seek to a starting position. I
don't plan to investigate myself, but ... is that even trying to avoid
skips and duplicates?
