I’m backing up some old external HDs on googledrive.
Since they’re old I’m prepared to accept a number of errors, but rclone keeps on failing when it is unable to copy a file after 3 times…
There is some way to ask it to just log a failed attempt, and keep on working?
rclone will return a non zero exit code if the copy failed. You can control the number of retries with --retries and --low-level-retries though.
What I mean is, I don’t understand if rclone exits before finishing, when it finds a file that it cannot copy after the given number of retries.
Or instead if it records the failed attempts and continues.
I’m asking because the last lines in the logfile are always like this, e.g.
2017/04/10 15:10:59 ERROR : Attempt 3/3 failed with 0 errors and: error reading source directory “(directory name)”: failed to read directory “(directory name)”: readdirent: invalid argument
2017/04/10 15:10:59 Failed to copy: error reading source directory “(directory name)”: failed to read directory “(directory name)”: readdirent: invalid argument
so I’m in doubt if rclone died from this or not…
