Yes, you have to exit the mount and remount it.

i agree, need to exit the mount to update

as i am working on my linux skills, i did some quick testing.
i have a running rclone mount, and i am streamint a media file from it.

I don't use self update and not familiar with the code behind it so I wouldn't know offhand.

If you have a running binary file in Linux, you need to exit it and re-run it if you update the binary as it's running from memory so you can replace it majority of the time in place.

sure, same on windows and i would imagine most any operating system.

with example 1, the mount is running, and rclone seems to update rclone?
what am i missing?

6

I don't use self update nor am I am familiar with the self update code.

7

the first example uses curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash and it claims that it updated rclone even though there is a running rclone mount?

8

Right? What's the problem there?
