Idrive e2 windows mount - no free space

Help and Support
1

hi
i'm new to this solution.
i've setup a idrive e2 bucket, and mounted it on windows 11
i can copy files no problem, but i don't see it reflected on used space
i've set --vfs-disk-space-total-size 100G, and copied about 2gb of data.
but free space still shows as 100g
is it supported?

thank you

welcome to the forum,

s3 remotes do not support rclone about and are considered unlimited storage.
rclone has no way to know total space, so, rclone just makes up an arbitrary value, 1PiB.

instead, you told rclone to pretend that total space is 100GiB.

do not confuse --vfs-disk-space-total-size with --vfs-cache-max-size
can check out my summary of the two vfs caches

Hi,

I have similar results with my Backblaze B2 account. It shows 1PB free space.

hi,

rclone about is not supported by the B2 backend

If the remote does not support the about feature at all, then 1 PiB is set as both the total and the free size.

Hi,

Thank you for the clarification I was always wondering.

rclone mount is the most complex command, hard to grok.
trying to have cloud storage appear as local storage is a compromise.
remotes that support rclone about are much simpler to understand, such as gdrive, onedrive.

for an overview, https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features

fwiw, i am consistently, re-reading the docs and still get confused, have to double check and think about it.
and there are always new flags...

thank you
so there is actually no way that rclone (or another mechanism) to report occupied space on this drive mount?

8

might try --vfs-used-is-size

9

so the syntax should be : --vfs-used-is-size rclone size ?
of i need to specify something?

10

that is the flag to use.

11

thank you
it seem to did the trick
can i ask another question about caching or i need to open a new thread?

12

sure, can ask here.
