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

dropbox

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

rclone mount --vfs-cache-mode=full --cache-dir=Z:\temp dd13:/ k: --multi-thread-streams 30 --low-level-retries 2 --retries 2 --vfs-read-chunk-size 128K --buffer-size off --max-backlog 20000 --fast-list --no-traverse --no-modtime --read-only --log-level INFO --stats 1m --network-mode --vfs-cache-max-age 15m

Hello to everyone,
firstly i am begineer i spend around 5 days for find this option. i have 3 questions;

1-when i use full mount my cpu going to %100 usage. ofcourse if i did not touch files cpu going back to normal. what can i do for cpu problem?

2- i just wonder about your exp with dropbox. ofcourse i know rclone mount code will be diffrent for everyjob but any best command for you? maybe i will try that.

3- I want to assign more numbers than letters to the disks I mount. I saw an article for this, but I couldn't manage it. How exactly can I do this? can you show me an example? because i'm really a beginner.

i am greatful your help.

  1. please post the full output of rclone version
  2. unless you are 1000% sure you know exaclly what each flag does, i would remove it.
    for example,
    --- --fast-list - does nothing on a rclone mount
    --- --max-backlog is that there for a specifc reason for that?
    --- --no-traverse - pretty sure that does nothing on a rclone mount.
  3. the Z: drive, is that local or a net share?
  4. using a log with DEBUG not INFO will provide a deeper look into what rclone is doing.

i never mount to drive letters, only folders, for example,

rclone mount remote1: b:\rclone\remote1
rclone mount remote2: b:\rclone\remote2
rclone mount remote9999: b:\rclone\remote9999

rclone version
rclone v1.57.0

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard Evaluation 2009 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.20348.169 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.2
  • go/linking: dynamic
  • go/tags: cmount

2- i have no idea about that command i just find them on internet i can delete them no problem!

3- z drive is ram disk on local.

4- can you write a command please? do you mean -vv?
is that help us for cpu usage?

5- i find that command on rclone web page but i really dont understand how can i use that.
can you explain a little bit more for me please? example b:/rclone/remote1 is that already generated folder? or rclone generate it?

what do you mean to do with the rclone mount?
--- store media files that will you will stream to local?
--- copy local files to cloud for backup?
--- ???

hello again, i am sorry for late answer and i am greatful about your support.

when i try download data to pc cpu going to %100 thats my basic problem

that is documented here
"a path representing a non-existent subdirectory of an existing parent directory"

try a simple command like this and test cpu usage when downloading.
rclone mount dd13: k: --read-only

and make sure to use latest stable version of winfsp

hello again,
i am afiraid change my command.
i find this on forum.

--ignore-checksum

but thats not working for me.

i did not try that but i find this too.
--transfers=2
--checkers=4
--bwlimit=10m

maybe tps-limit is work for me?

does nothing on a rclone mount

imho, just adding/removing flags is not the way to go about this.

i shared the simplest rclone mount command possible,
test with that, establish a baseline for cpu usage.

i guess i solve cpu spending for now.
honestly i have tons of questions. You probably hate me :slight_smile:

when i try use this command i receive error. if you have time can you give me a hand please?

rclone mount remotedd13: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\New\remotedd13 --vfs-cache-mode=full --cache-dir=Z:\temp dd13:/ --multi-thread-streams 30 --drive-chunk-size 7M --low-level-retries 2 --retries 2 --max-backlog 20000 --fast-list --no-traverse --no-modtime --read-only --log-level INFO --stats 1m --network-mode --vfs-cache-max-age 15m --ignore-checksum --transfers=2 --tpslimit 10

Command mount needs 2 arguments maximum: you provided 3 non flag arguments:

i cannot see into your screen.

run the command, post the full output including the error message, enclose it with three backticks so it is formated like so.

rclone mount remotedd13: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\New\remotedd13 --vfs-cache-mode=full --cache-dir=Z:\temp dd13:/ --multi-thread-streams 30 --drive-chunk-size 7M --low-level-retries 2 --retries 2 --max-backlog 20000 --fast-list --no-traverse --no-modtime --read-only --log-level INFO --stats 1m --network-mode --vfs-cache-max-age 15m --ignore-checksum --transfers=2 --tpslimit 10

you have two remotes in the command, choose one and remove the other.
