What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am using a tool called raspiBackup on Raspberry Pi 5 (Linux rpi 6.6.31+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.31-1+rpt1 (2024-05-29) aarch64 GNU/Linux). It performs a backup of the boot partition to a google Drive Folder mounted via
rclone mount --daemon --allow-root --allow-other gdrive:/ /home/pi/bin/GoogleDrive/Root
the tool basically does this:
dd if=/dev/nvme0n1p1 of="/home/pi/bin/GoogleDrive/Root/Backups/rpi/raspiBackup/rpi/rpi-tar-backup-20240727-132459/rpi-backup.img" bs=1M
then it tries to verify the backup by doing
losetup -v /dev/loop0 /home/pi/bin/GoogleDrive/Root/Backups/rpi/raspiBackup/rpi/rpi-tar-backup-20240727-132459/rpi-backup.img
This is where it fails (extract from kern.log):
2024-07-27T14:15:39.780878+01:00 rpi kernel: [ 2912.763483] I/O error, dev loop0, sector 1048448 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 1 prio class 2
2024-07-27T14:15:39.780893+01:00 rpi kernel: [ 2912.763564] I/O error, dev loop0, sector 1048448 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2
2024-07-27T14:15:39.780894+01:00 rpi kernel: [ 2912.763567] Buffer I/O error on dev loop0, logical block 32764, async page read
If I simply copy the file above from the Google Drive folder to /tmp and repeat the losetup, it works properly. So something about the fact that the image is located on the mounted gdrive folder that breaks it. The permissions of the file are the same
