Failed to read directory entry: readdirent

jro · June 25, 2019, 5:27pm

I'm getting this error when I run rclone on a SMB share (hosted by Win10) mounted in Ubuntu:

2019/06/25 13:24:53 ERROR : System Volume Information: error reading source directory: failed to read directory entry: readdirent: permission denied

Running with -vv doesn't seem to add any other useful details to the log. The error always happens right at the start of the run. All other files get backed up successfully, but it doesn't sync any deleted files since there were I/O errors. Any help would be appreciated!

It is trying to recurse into the System Volume Information directory. If you exclude it from the sync then all should be well, eg --exclude "/System Volume Information/**"

That did the trick, thanks Nick!
