Cannot append to existing append blob

Problem Description

I'm trying to append to an append blob but it seems to fail.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Upload to a blob container using the following command:
blobxfer upload --storage-account myaccount --sas 'somesaskey' --remote-path database/db.csv --local-path somefile.csv --mode append --rename

And the file was uploaded successfully

  1. Append to the uploaded file.
blobxfer upload --storage-account myaccount --sas 'somesaskey' --remote-path database/db.csv --local-path anotherfile.csv --mode append --rename

There is no error, but when I downloaded and check on the somefile.csv, the anotherfile.csv was not appended as expected.

I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly. Any suggestions are welcome!

This is not supported. blobxfer can write new append blobs, but cannot be used to append to existing blobs.
