Mounting s3fs bucket which is failing on rhel 7.x server

HI Team,

We have installed rclone on one of our rhel 7.x server. Later when tried mounting with below command its not getting mounted, kindly look into this issue and provide us some guidance

rclone mount remote:mmis-doclinks-sqt /mmis-rclone-mount
--daemon
--config /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
--log-file=/var/log/rclone.log
--allow-other
--cache-dir /disk1/mmisfilestore_cache
--vfs-cache-mode=full
--s3-acl=private
--s3-chunk-size=16M
--s3-upload-concurrency=1
--multi-thread-streams=0
--s3-disable-checksum

Log file ouput:

[root@dwn-sqtmax02s ~]# cat /var/log/rclone.log

Run it without --daemon flag. Add -vv (debug) flag and post output here.

welcome to the forum,

i had the same issue and found a workaround by creating a symlink.


make sure you are using latest rclone version
rclone selfupdate
