MEGA S4 + Inconsistent part size #981

Description

@p7kdev

Hi,

I've noticed that my backups haven't been working for a while now and I just can't get it to work anymore. I use MEGA S4 as an S3 object storage provider with this configuration

apiVersion: barmancloud.cnpg.io/v1
kind: ObjectStore
metadata:
  name: my-objectstore-name
  namespace: mynamespace
spec:
  configuration:
    data:
      compression: snappy
      jobs: 1
    destinationPath: s3://my-bucket-name/
    endpointURL: https://s3.eu-luxembourg.megas4.com
    s3Credentials:
      accessKeyId:
        key: ACCESS_KEY_ID
        name: mega-s3
      secretAccessKey:
        key: ACCESS_SECRET_KEY
        name: mega-s3
    wal:
      compression: snappy
      maxParallel: 1
    logLevel: info
    retentionPolicyIntervalSeconds: 1800
  retentionPolicy: 14d

WAL uploads are still working fine. But on-demand backups and scheduled backups are failing with this error message

failure uploading data (An error occurred (InvalidPart) when calling the UploadPart operation: Inconsistent part size. S4 requires parts to have the same size (except a smaller size can be allowed for the last part) and consecutive sequential part numbers starting by 1)

I'm pretty sure it has worked in the past. I've been searching a lot, but I haven't been able to find anything that might help me. Does anyone have any ideas? I think this might be something specific to MEGA. Does anyone know of a workaround for this, or has anyone seen something like this before?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

The version of the plugin being used is: v0.13.0

Best regards,
Paul
