What is the output if you type in:
ls -alR /data/rclone_upload
plexuser@vmi176708:~$ ls -alR /data/rclone_upload
/data/rclone_upload:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 21 11:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 21 11:20 …
plexuser@vmi176708:~$
and this from the root access
root@vmi176708:~# ls -alR /data/rclone_upload
/data/rclone_upload:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 21 11:20 .

And you ran a cp somefile into /media/Plex/ ? What specifically did you type?
Did you check your syslog and see if any error messages are present?
this was my command line
cp /home/plexuser/Downloads/Taken.2.2012.mkv /media/plex
i have checked the htop it was showing the transfer as a white color not a green. when i was uploading my media before i have to stop the mount and the htop was showing green for my transfer files. but when i use the command cp /home/plexuser/Downloads/Taken.2.2012.mkv /media/plex the htop not showing any transfer files
If you type in a cp command, it should take some time (depending on server and the size of the file) to copy the file from the source to the destination and a prompt should return back to you.
can you tell me what this path /data/rclone_upload its mentioned in the mount command line ( --cache-tmp-upload-path /data/rclone_upload --cache ) ? as i have found already a folder with the same name. maybe i need to change that line to my path which is media/plex
That’s basically a temporary file location before its uploaded to the remote. The amount of time it stays in the temporary location is controlled by –cache-tmp-wait-time.
Can you provide the output of ls -alR /media/plex?
this the output
root@vmi176708:~# ls -alR /media/plex
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 18953627829 Apr 21 21:18 /media/plex
thanks guys i really appreciated you help. all is working fine now the mount and the cp command.
Hi Animosity022,
Could you please check the below mount. sorry i always disturb you

Why are there two mount lines, for ExecStartPre & Exec Start? Combine them into one for ExecStart. The 2 ExecStop lines are also wrong. rmdir should not be required.
so it has to be like this?

Cleaned up some duplicate arguments:
/usr/bin/rclone mount gmedia: /gmedia \
--config /home/alora/.config/rclone/rclone.conf \
--allow-other \
--dir-cache-time=160h \
--cache-chunk-size=10M \
--cache-info-age=168h \
--cache-workers=5 \
--cache-tmp-upload-path /data/rclone_upload \
--cache-tmp-wait-time 60m \
--buffer-size 0M
Also, add back the ExecStop line containing the fusermount command.
like this
/usr/bin/rclone mount gmedia: /gmedia
–config /home/alora/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
–allow-other
–dir-cache-time=160h
–cache-chunk-size=10M
–cache-info-age=168h
–cache-workers=5
–cache-tmp-upload-path /data/rclone_upload
–cache-tmp-wait-time 60m
–buffer-size 0M
ExecStop=/bin/fusermount -u -z /gmedia
Looks good. But is this supposed to be a service file or a script?
If it is a service file, as I suspect, then bring back everything from your original post and do the following:
- Remove ExecStartPre
- Replace ExecStart with the specified command
- Replace the 2 ExecStop with the fusermount ExecStop.
Hi darthShadow,
can you please check the service script
