We've been using get_mtime_and_size(+inode in state) as a checksum, to make sure that file didn't change. We don't really care about any underlying values, only the final checksum that is a combination of fs-specific values (mtime, size, inode, etc).
In case of ref objects, we are only using
get_mtime_and_size
for files and not for directories, which makes it really easy to migrate to fsspec-compatiblefs.checksum()
. We also don't ever save refodb anywhere persistent, so we can tweak checksums later if we find a need.Pre-requisite for making state work with any filesystem.
