Invalid seek position

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

After a power outage, I'm getting the following error

rclone[7610]: CP6386Wo6UQzVpj4euI3u3JB/Ihthfa0m,tV1fu54F1L2dEBY/LxKMc-8zJnAUr8M8aYjD7WdOyKtXlSh5BqzMkTAEi5u6y-/ad686LSdYV-FCwE7JuUTLlg2Rb7iMIAlqbMhhrB-Jjs0SFxW6Smlb1mNcCecrv1eDWZ5jlOO92BNbjtaDQdqgte7: vfs cache: restart download failed: failed to start downloader: failed to open downloader: vfs reader: failed to open source file: invalid seek position

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.56.2

  • os/version: ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 4.15.0-159-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.16.8
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

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

Google Drive

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

rclone mount gsuite: /data/gsuite.encrypt --config /home/admin/.config/rclone/rclone.conf --rc --allow-other --log-level ERROR --syslog --umask 022 --allow-non-empty --fuse-flag sync_read --tpslimit 10 --tpslimit-burst 10 --dir-cache-time=192h --attr-timeout=1s --vfs-cache-max-age=192h --vfs-cache-max-size=240G --vfs-cache-mode=full

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

cat .config/rclone/rclone.conf
[gsuite]
type = drive
client_id = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com
client_secret = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
token = {"access_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","token_type":"Bearer","refresh_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","expiry":"2021-10-13T14:41:45.911314299-04:00"}
root_folder_id = 0AA6XnWU0CIzhUk9PVA

A log from the command with the -vv flag

You may want to fsck the file system in question and if that doesn't find anything, just delete the cache file that's complaining.

Should I just be manually removing from the cache or using rclone delete from the remote drive? The files in question are only a couple hundred KB.

If it was me and I was sure I didn't need anything from the cache (all my stuff is uploaded outside of the mount), I'd stop rclone, remove the cache folder, start it up again and test.

That is absolutely my case, and that worked great. Thanks for the help.
