Error creating mount service

Help and Support
1

Hi!

I have a problem when I try to run an RClone mount service

Here is my version of RClone:

  • os/version: ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.11.0-1028-oracle (aarch64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: arm64
  • go/version: go1.17.2
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

I have this in the output of systemctl status:
● onedrive1.service - Onedrive 1 Mount Service

My service configuration is this:

I looked for similar errors on the internet and found none.

In your service file, you need \ after the trailing lines:

[Unit]
Description= Onedrive 1 Mount Service
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount crypt-onedrive1: /mnt/cloud/onedrive1 \
--config=/home/ubuntu/.config/rclone/rclone.conf \
--user-agent=ubuntu \
--allow-other \
--timeout=1h \
--poll-interval=15s \
--dir-cache-time=1000h \
--–cache-dir=/mnt/cloud/cache/onedrive1 \
--vfs-write-wait duration=1s \
--vfs-cache-mode=full \
--vfs-cache-max-size=15G \
--vfs-cache-max-age=12h
ExecStop=/bin/fusermount -uz /mnt/cloud/onedrive1
Restart=on-abort
RestartSec=5
StartLimitInterval=60s
StartLimitBurst=3

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and I moved the mount part up with the options after.

So, I did exactly like that, but I didn't succeed.

Here's the .service file I'm configuring:

[Unit]
Description= Onedrive 1 Mount Service
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rclone mount crypt-onedrive1: /mnt/cloud/onedrive1 \
--config=/home/ubuntu/.config/rclone/rclone.conf \
-–user-agent=ubuntu \

-–cache-dir=/mnt/cloud/cache/onedrive1 \
--vfs-write-wait duration=1s \
-–vfs-cache-mode=full \
-–vfs-cache-max-size=15G \
-–vfs-cache-max-age=12h
ExecStop=/bin/fusermount -uz /mnt/cloud/onedrive1
Restart=on-abort
RestartSec=5
StartLimitInterval=60s
StartLimitBurst=3

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

They have the backslash (\), but I can't make it show

Sorry as --cache-dir in your command has 3 dashes instead two and you don't need the word duration in the vfs-write-wait

/usr/bin/rclone mount crypt-onedrive1: /mnt/cloud/onedrive1 \
--config=/home/ubuntu/.config/rclone/rclone.conf \
--user-agent=ubuntu \
--allow-other \
--timeout=1h \
--poll-interval=15s \
--dir-cache-time=1000h \
--cache-dir=/mnt/cloud/cache/onedrive1 \
--vfs-write-wait=1s \
--vfs-cache-mode=full \
--vfs-cache-max-size=15G \
--vfs-cache-max-age=12h

and that runs for me on the command line, best to test there first and validate it's doing what you want and then try the service file.

felix@gemini:~$ /usr/bin/rclone mount crypt-onedrive1: /mnt/cloud/onedrive1 \
