GDrive Mount: Each morning api request high

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Each morning at 6h25am rclone make a READ ALL on my gdrive so this make a lot api request in the same time. All is good for the rest of the day. Don't know if is normal

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.55.1

  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.16.3
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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

Debian 10 (Server)

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

Gdrive with Crypt

A log from the command with the -vv flag

2021/05/06 06:25:01 DEBUG : /: Attr: 
2021/05/06 06:25:01 DEBUG : /: >Attr: attr=valid=1s ino=0 size=0 mode=drwxr-xr-x, err=<nil>

2021/05/06 06:25:02 DEBUG : /: >ReadDirAll: item=4, err=<nil>

And read all my file after that.

My mount config

--config /home//.config/rclone/rclone.conf
--log-level DEBUG
--log-file /home/
/rclone.log
--fast-list
--tpslimit 5
--checksum
--no-modtime
--timeout 30s
--umask 022
--read-only
--allow-other
--poll-interval=1h
--dir-cache-time 8760h
--vfs-read-chunk-size 2048M
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off
--vfs-cache-mode full
--vfs-cache-max-size 400G
--vfs-cache-max-age 120h \


Rclone doesn't request anything itself.

You have an application / something that runs on a schedule that is requesting items.

Thx for the info... on my other server i dont have this probleme... only thing lol on my problem server haha i have nothing installed except vsftpd and rclone so... maybe something by default with ovh fresh install

Unfortunately there is no magic way to figure it out other than seeing what is scheduled and stopping it if it's a problem.
