What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Can not create directories on MEGA when using rclone mount
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.68.2
- os/version: fedora 41 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.13.11-200.fc41.x86_64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.23.4
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
MEGA, the free plan
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone mount --daemon mega:/ /tmp/mount
mkdir /tmp/mount/folder
This returns the error:
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/tmp/mount/folder’: Input/output error
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag
"rclone" "mount" "--daemon" "-vv" "mega:/" "/tmp/mount"]

This is the result of the command with -vv and does not look particularly helpful, to me. However, with the commands
rclone mount --daemon mega:/ /tmp/mount --log-file rclone.log --log-level DEBUG
mkdir /tmp/mount/folder
this is the content of the log file, which does show errors:
