Error: unknown flag: --drive-stop-on-upload-limit

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Unable to run upload script with --drive-stop-on-upload-limit. It works fine if I remove this tag.

What is your rclone version (output from `rclone version`)

rclone v1.49.2

os/arch: linux/amd64
go version: go1.12.9

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Linux, it is a seedbox unsure of the version and distro it could be Ubuntu or debian

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg `rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp`)

Paste command here

///

#!/bin/bash
set -e

RClone Config file

Local Drive - This must be a local mount point on your server that is used for the source of files

WARNING: If you make this your rclone Google Drive mount, it will create a move loop

and DELETE YOUR FILES!

Make sure to set this to the local path you are moving from!!

LOCAL=/home/sheldon/local

Exit if running

if [[ $(pidof -x "$(basename "$0")" -o %PPID) ]]; then
echo "Already running, exiting..."; exit 1; fi

Check for excludes file

if [[ ! -f /home/sheldon/scripts/excludes ]]; then
echo "excludes file not found, aborting..."; exit 1; fi

Is $LOCAL actually a local disk?

if /bin/findmnt $LOCAL -o FSTYPE -n | grep fuse; then
echo "FUSE file system found, exiting..."; exit 1; fi

Move older local files to the cloud...

I added in 3 days to let the files sit a few days so Plex intro anaylsis can happen locally

hello and welcome to the forum,

that version of rclone is many years old, so please update to latest stable, v1.56.0 and test again
https://rclone.org/downloads/#script-download-and-install

Sheldz8 · August 16, 2021, 7:09am

I updated my version

sheldon@hera:~/scripts$ rclone --version
rclone v1.56.0

os/version: debian 10.10 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 4.19.0-17-amd64 (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.16.5
go/linking: static
go/tags: none

but i still get the same error

Animosity022 · August 16, 2021, 11:47am

If you got the same error, you are pointing to the old version.

Run the full command and add -vv and share the full output of the command you are running that produces the error.

Sheldz8 · August 16, 2021, 2:20pm

not sure what you mean, I did update rclone and the above reply says it is on the latest version

I used your script on github as an example so I used ./ to run it.

If I remove --drive-stop-on-upload-limit the script runs.

sheldon@hera:~/scripts$ ./rclone-upload.sh --vv
Error: unknown flag: --drive-stop-on-upload-limit

how do I see what version I am pointing to because the Ultra.cc support gave me the command to update rclone and I don't have sufficient rights to do anything further as it is a seedbox

Animosity022 · August 16, 2021, 2:25pm

You'd have to work with the vendor with that to validate.

If you don't have the option, you have the wrong version. It's really just that simple but I don't know how to validate on your provider.

asdffdsa · August 16, 2021, 2:53pm

hi,

i would search your file system for all instances of the rclone executable.and run which rclone
and run rclone version on each rclone found.

Sheldz8 · August 16, 2021, 2:54pm

thanks i will do that.

Animosity022 · August 16, 2021, 3:02pm

Right, your script isn't pointing to that location.

You need to adjust your script to point to wherever you have it installed.

Sheldz8 · August 16, 2021, 3:03pm

I changed the location, I didn't know the command to find it so Thank You.

I wasn't sure where it installed the new version

The script is now working properly

asdffdsa · August 16, 2021, 3:09pm

yeah, i had that problem once with another program.
