How to mount the remote as NTFS and not FUSE-rclone

[cdez]

Hello,
I am unable to figure out how to mount a remote as NTFS rather than the FUSE-rclone that it has when shown in properties in Windows. Is there a way to have it either recognized as NTFS by Windows, or a way that I can run the command to have the remote show up as NTFS?

Using rclone v1.53.1
os/arch: windows/amd64
go version: go1.15

Using Google Drive, already setup.

I was hoping that last part of the command would allow me to mount it as NTFS, as I found that in some issue in github where they were using that I think.

rclone mount gdrive:/plots A: --vfs-cache-mode full --fuse-flag FileSystemName=NTFS

Config: (Not sure if this is important, because I was using this before, and it worked, no problem.)

[gdrive]
type = drive
scope = drive
token = {"access_token":"(Not sure if I was supposed to remove this.)","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"(Not sure if I was supposed to remove this.)","expiry":"2020-10-03T23:03:40.3683142-07:00"}

My Log: (Which you might not need, but is still helpful.)

hello and welcome to the forum,

winfsp uses a fuse style library and does not emulate nfts

is there a specific feature you need that winfsp does not emulate?

[cdez]

Hi! Thank you,
What I need is the drive to show up as NTFS, because my programs won't write to the "drive" if it isn't NTFS. When I use the command I've been using, it won't show up as NTFS, it reports to Windows as FUSE-rclone, and then my programs won't write to the "drive". Would there be any way to have it show up as NTFS, like any flags that I could apply? The --fuse-flag FileSystemName=NTFS didn't work, which I remember finding somewhere on github in the rclone issues, which is probably why it won't work.

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

can you post the command?

[cdez]

rclone mount gdrive:/plots A: --vfs-cache-mode full --fuse-flag FileSystemName=NTFS

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

@cdez

my programs

what is the program?

I’m using Xplotter. I’m using rclone to plot the “drive”, but it doesn’t want to plot a drive as NTFS.

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

where can i download it?

winfsp does not support sparse files.
http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/doc/NTFS-Compatibility/

run the software on a local drive and then use rclone to copy data to cloud.
