Backblaze drive won't mount with vfs-cache-mode

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

When I use:
rclone mount Backblaze: Z:
it works fine, the drive is mounted on my Windows 11 PC.

Apparently it sounds like it's important to have the --vfs-cache-mode full statement, when I add this the drive will not mount. I have spent hours trying to solve it but whenever I include the vfs statement it will not work.

With the vfs statement the drive does not mount and there is no log file recorded.
Wthout the vfs statement the drive mounts ok and the log statement is:
The service rclone has been started.

rclone version = v1.66.00

Using Backblaze

[Backblaze]
type = b2
account = XXX
key = XXX

[S3]
type = s3
provider = AWS
access_key_id = XXX
secret_access_key = XXX
region = us-east-1
acl = private

My goal is to use batch files to transfer files from an external ssd to my backblaze account every morning. These files include video mp4 files so some of them might be 1Gb+ sometimes.

I would be grateful for recommended ideas to set up the mount properly.

Thanks in advance.

Dave.

run that command and post the output.

Just to avoid wasting anyone any more time I've decided not to use Rclone to mount the Backblaze Drive anymore. For what I need Filezilla seems to work fine.
