What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I did an rclone sync from crypt-GDrive to a local ext4 disk while connected to faster internet than my home (which is just an unlimited cellphone plan hooked to a router). I then used rclone to sync that ext4 drive to another larger btrfs ssd where my local copy of the data will live. I did this a second time to make sure I had everything and pulled down another 300GB.
I'm trying to do a daily sync to keep the daily data transfer low, but somewhere in the sync chain above the mtimes of many files were off by a few ms and now unless I use --size-only , it will try to download 100GB or more. Is there a way to fix the mtime of files with an identical name and size? I want to use --track-renames --track-rename-strategy modtime, since local and remote checksum does not match?
--modify-window 1s is a work around, but I also want to "true-up" between remote and local times.
Alternatively, is there a way for --track-renames to rehash each local file with a gdrive compatible?
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone --version
rclone v1.61.1
- os/version: debian 11.6 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.10.0-20-amd64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.19.4
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
GDrive
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone sync --transfers=1 --track-renames --track-renames-strategy modtime --max-duration 4h --cutoff-mode=SOFT --log-level=INFO --progress --dscp LE content-crypt: /mnt/content/```
