Suppose a mounted directory /mnt/rclone. The problem is I have insufficient permission to perform, e.g.

rm -rf /mnt/rclone/file.txt

Outputting:

rm: cannot remove '/mnt/rclone/file.txt': Input/output error

It seems like a generic error, but I know the cause. It's because I don't have permission to perform delete operations. Not only remove operations, but also modification operations. So, when using nano or vim, I still get such an error. Note that I'm allowed to perform move or copy operations! So, I expect there is such a wrapper that wraps /mnt/rclone to /mnt/rclone_wrapper. So when I perform a command like modifying the text in nano /mnt/rclone_wrapper/file.txt, behind the scenes it works like this: 1. Copying /mnt/rclone/file.txt to local (e.g., /tmp/file.txt) 2. Moving /mnt/rclone/file.txt to /mnt/rclone/.trash/ 3. Moving /tmp/file.txt to /mnt/rclone/file.txt Is there any idea somehow? --- Clarification: 1. I use FUSE since rclone uses it. 2. I mounted it to a remote (Google Drive). 3. Note that I have root access. The permission issue comes from the remote, which is Google Drive.

I am trying to copy from google drive to my remote with Rclone on Linux using $ rclone copy name:a/b/c/myfolder/. /home/b/c/myfolder and get, ERROR : : error reading source directory: directory not found With the same command line I was able to copy some other folders in the same directory (c) but for some folders I get this error. When I do; $ rclone lsd name:a/b/c myfolder is listed. I have also tried let rclone copy entire folder itself $ rclone copy name:a/b/c/myfolder /home/b/c/myfolder get the same error. How can I fix this bug? Thanks

I am using ZorinOS lite mainly for rclone. The PC mainly hast the job to copy/ sync Files from one Cloud to another. Also a few very important business applications as the tabletop simulator for example are installed. Now I See that my 240GB SSD is already almost full. Using sudo baobab I can see that most space is taken Up by the /home/pc directory. But I can not analyze much further. I could imagine that rclone has something to do with my problem but I can't seem to get any more information. Here ist the result of the sudo baobab command: Also using sudo du -h /home/pc | sort -hr | head did not give me any useful information about where the majority of my disk space has gone. Now I would like to know what ist the exact problem and how to solve it (delete temporary Files (maybe created by rclone?)). Thanks in advance for any help. I am not very experienced in Linux systems so easy understandable answers are appreciated. Edit: Using the command ls -la /home/pc I am getting the following Output:

I have written the following automount unit for systemd: /etc/systemd/user/home-federico-Cloud-unipg.automount ----------------------------------------------------- [Unit] Description="automount" [Automount] Where=/home/federico/Cloud/unipg [Install] WantedBy=default.target The mount unit is: /etc/systemd/user/home-federico-Cloud-unipg.mount ------------------------------------------------- [Unit] Description="mount" [Mount] Type=rclone What=unipg: Where=/home/federico/Cloud/unipg Options=vfs-cache-mode=full,config=/home/federico/.config/rclone/rclone.conf,cache-dir=/var/rclone ---------- After --user reloading the systemd daemon, I run the command systemctl --user enable --now home-federico-Cloud-unipg.automount and I get the following error in systemctl status: home-federico-Cloud-unipg.automount: Failed with result 'resources'.

The command journalctl -xe is not helpful since it says: A start job for unit UNIT has finished with a failure. ---------- The mount unit is working because if I run systemctl --user start home-federico-Cloud-unipg.mount I get the storage correctly mounted, so the problem is somewhere in the automount part. Moreover, if I repeat the process as a system instance instead of user instance (replacing default.target with multi-user.target) I get the thing to work, even though the mountpoint is not accessible to user. Can somebody help me to troubleshoot this?

I am trying to mount a proton drive using Rclone.

Update: The following are my details of rclone: $ rclone --version rclone v1.67.0 - os/version: fedora 41 (64 bit) - os/kernel: 6.12.6-200.fc41.x86_64 (x86_64) - os/type: linux - os/arch: amd64 - go/version: go1.23.1 - go/linking: dynamic - go/tags: none

I wanted to mount my rcloned drive. When I try to mount that rclone using this command: rclone mount --allow-other Webseries: /webseries I get the following error: 2022/04/28 21:59:46 mount helper error: fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first 2022/04/28 21:59:46 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: fusermount: exit status 1 I want to mount it and referred to many thread related to this. **What I tried** * I tried

Output is :

* I have tried running

modprobe fuse

It responds with

I feel like Fuse isn't installing. I can't find any file related to fuse. I installed fuse using sudo apt-get install fuse It successfully gets installed it . **Kindly refer to the log.** Click here to see logs on pastebin! **I'm running Ubuntu:20.04 on docker**. And seems like docker doesn't like fuse very much. I even tried using google-drive-ocamlfuse but The VNC rdp disconnects while opening browser for Google authentication.

While starting to learn about rclone, I made the mistake of running the following command, as a test, from my Ubuntu home directory:

sudo rclone sync /media/foo/bar .

My assumption was that a new directory called bar would appear, but I know now that rsync would instead be trying to create a copy of the *contents* of /media/foo/bar at the second directory specified (including by deleting files). While running, I was lucky to at least be concerned at the amount of warning messages (relating to links within my git working directories), and so I hit CTRL+C to stop. I came to realise that for my usage requirements, sudo is not required; and I understand that the sync option (which is the option I want) should be used with care, and that the commands second/target directory may have files/directories deleted. As for now, and after getting rclone working nicely, I realised my earlier experiment had some unwanted side-effects. I first noticed that the .git directories of all of my git repos were gone. Then, that ~/.git-credentials was gone, and that my browser settings and passwords were gone. The basic directory structure seems unchanged. As I start to recover, can anyone advise as to which files (or directories) I should expect to be missing?

I am copying some large datasets to google drive using rclone sync in Linux on MobaXterm. I submit the job as below; -cpu:~$ nohup rclone sync /path_to_source/. /path_to_destination & 16310 and when do 'jobs' to see job status, it is running. -cpu:~$jobs - Running nohup rclone sync /path_to_source /path_to_destination & However, maybe a couple of hours later the session stops for some reason; Session stopped - Press to exit tab - Press R to restart session - Press S to save terminal output to file Server unexpectedly closed network connection So I restart the session, login and I do 'jobs' nothing is shown. -cpu:~$jobs -`cpu:~$ I know that the job is not completed yet, because I used nohup, also when I run the same sync command line above it is still copying. After i restart the session and use 'jobs' why i cant see jobs running? Or how can I see it, possibly with job ids, thanks

I can mount my google drive using rclone mount gdrive: localfolder. I also know how to automatically mount a remote file system through sshfs within vifm. But is it possible to use rclone to mount a cloud drive within vifm automatically? I've tried to add the following line in vifmrc: filetype *.drive FUSE_MOUNT2|rclone %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR and create a file named google.drive with the following line in it: mount gdrive: When I try to open the file google.drive, vifm displays the message of trying to mount and then hangs there forever. To be more general, is there a generic way in vifm to handle all kinds of remote mounting programs?

**General**: I want to run a back-up script during shutdown (not reboot). I've tried tons of systemd's service configuration, but no one is working. **Aim**: When PC is shutting down I want to perform a back-up to cloud storage using bash script and rclone utility. Syncing may take some time (up to several minutes) and it requires networking and a user being logged in. **Question**: What the appropriate .service file structure for my bash script ? Now I have something like this and it doesn't work at all. Script doesn't run at shutdown.

I am copying some large datasets to google drive using rclone in Linux on MobaXterm. First, I copy the dataset using; -cpu:~$ nohup rclone copy /path_to_source/. /path_to_destination & once copying is completed, I use sync to make sure everything is copied using; -cpu:~$ nohup rclone sync /path_to_source/. /path_to_destination & Now when check the job status using; ps -ef | grep rclone For one of the jobs, it gives; + Exit 1 nohup rclone sync /path_to_source/. /path_to_destination & I was expecting to see 'Done' instead of 'Exit 1'. What does this mean? Does it mean sync is unsuccessful? If so what would be the reason?

I am copying some files from google drive to my remote using rclone in Linux. It has been an hour or so it looks like this on the terminal; In average the copy time is much less than an hour for similar folders in the drive. I understand that it found duplicates but I don`t know why it just stays like this? Is it still copying? or is this mean something different?

I am trying to use rclone to sync a directory to my google drive. The code I am using is something like: rclone sync ~/Desktop/myfolder mygoogledrive:myfolder This works to upload the contents just fine. But when I remove a file from my local "myfolder" the corresponding file in Google Drive stays undeleted when I run the sync command. So clearly I expect the file to be deleted by rclone, but should I? Is this a supported feature for Google Drive? If so, does anyone have any thoughts on why it's not working. Am I missing a flag?

I want to create a sync system between newly available Proton Drive and my local filesystem. However, since it's very new, it's only barely supported by rclone (I'm lucky to be on openSUSE Tumbleweed because rclone in my other distros don't support it), and it doesn't have a sync client for Linux yet. I've considered 3 options: 1. mount the whole drive using rclone mount and work always online, but that's slow and sluggish and requires constant Internet connection; 2. mount drive with rclone mount and sync the folders I need using the tool [unison](https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison) . But my testing shows that it can take a very long time for the software to browse for changes... Even though when the scanning is done it's pretty fast for the correct/copy; 3. use rclone bisync. But it's advertized to be in testing and not very stable, and anyways I have the same problem that I have with unison, it's very slow to browse for changes... So if anyone has a better idea how to do that ("that" being setting up a sync system where when I change/add/remove something either on the computer or the drive, the change propagates to the other side immediately — or at least, fast, like, under a minute delay), please help!

I'm trying to get the rclone service to mount a drive as soon as the system has received a network connection on boot/reboot. So far I have all of the mounting working correctly via terminal. I have written a simple .sh file to execute it which basically is: #!/bin/sh ! mountpoint -q /home/{user}/{location}/{location} || umount /home/{user}/{location}/{location} rclone mount {nameofservice}: /home/{user}/{location}/{location} --config /home/{user}/.config/rclone/rclone.conf Running this in terminal works as expected. I have followed an online tutorial to get this working after a network connection has been achieved using systemd and have created the following file with 755 +x permissions in /etc/systemd/system/{nameof.service} [Unit] Description=Starts {nameof.service} rclone service on startup Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target [Service] Type=simple User={user} Group={group} ExecStart=/home/{user}/{nameofsh}.sh TimeoutStartSec=5 RemainAfterExit=yes [Install] WantedBy=network-online.target I need it to run as that particular user. Following creation of this file I also: systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable {nameof.service} In the tutorial I expected the enable command to return a message about creating a symlink which I didn't get - it just retuned with a new line, but I didn't think this was major. Regardless, when I run systemctl restart {nameof.service} I get the expected outcome, but not on start up or reboot. At this point I'm not sure how I've gone wrong and would appreciate any help.

I have mounted dropbox using rclone to /home/user/Dropbox. I'm using rsync to upload the files to dropbox. I have done so around 400GB just using this method. Today however it uploaded some files and stopped with the summary of the tranfer (no errors) like it has completed tranferring all the files. However, when I check the source directories, there are some files left. Since I'm using --append and --remove-source-files flags, there shouldn't be any files left. I tried to copy one of them using file manager and it shows that the file already exists at the targed and prompt to replace. Following is the command I used.

Fish can't cd into a folder on a Webdav remote directory through Rclone:

cd: The directory “Documents” does not exist

Perhaps because it uses a wrapper around cd, maybe it is a bug, or instead I have to disable or rename the cd function, not sure how to address it.

rclone will run fine for months at a time. The command I run most often is:

rclone sync {{path/to/file_or_directory}} {{remote_name}}:{{path/to/directory}}

Then - _seemingly out of nowhere_ - I run my rclone sync ... command and get the following error:

failed to open source object: certificate has expired or is not yet valid

I always do the same thing, issue the following commands, and the problem usually goes away:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates

Occasionally running those three commands above does not work, and I'm forced to take drastic actions: 1. Disable wifi 2. Connect to a router through an ethernet cable 3. Restart the computer 4. retry all of the commands above (upgrade, reinstall ca-certificates, rclone sync *) and somehow the ethernet connection fixes everything. **Why do I occasionally have to use an ethernet cable to make my rclone certificate errors go away?** I don't always carry an ethernet cable on me, and even if I did it's not always easy to connect to the router that is offering you wifi access. I do not really know the root cause of the problem, and how to fix it.
