LIbreOffice editing/saving not safe enough on the rclone mount

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Using rclone mount for google drive's daily usage.
It's not stable enough to save/edit files (LibreOffice). LibreOffice keeps crashing, some files sent to the remote aren't updated in the mount etc. It also crashes when I try to copy more than 4 pictures from the mount to the document simultaneously.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.53.2

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.15.3

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

Arch Linux 64 bit

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 pessoal:/Documentos /mnt/Documents \
        --allow-other \
	--cache-dir="/home/user/Downloads/.cache" \
	--vfs-cache-mode full \
	--poll-interval 10s

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

hi,
when you posted you were asked for information, can you post the missing info?

and LibreOffice keeps crashing does not provide an usable info.
what exact does crashing mean?

It's hard to say: sometimes files are not saved correctly (oldest version of file is stored, instead). Sometimes, the entire file gets corrupted.

It's very frustrating because you spend a lot of time writing something and then it's not saved.

Another thing: I'm highlighting a PDF. I can't simply save the edit. I have to save a copy of the file. This issue doesn't happen if I'm editing the same PDF locally.

Regarding the crashes, for instance, if I copy like 10 images from the mount to a LibreOffice file, it'd eventually freeze and crash.

you need to run create a rclone debug log and parse it for errors at the time of the crash

what is the filesystem type for /mnt/Documents?

perhaps try --vfs-cache-mode writes

5

Filesystem type is Btrfs

6

did you try --vfs-cache-mode writes?

7

I tried writes, minimal and off as well. Last option seemed stable, but very slow, as you may guess.

Is my mount command ok for this purpose?

8

have you done this yet?

I'll work on it as soon as I get home.
