NFS mount error message on macOS

Help and Support
1

I'm using an NFS mount on macOS with a local type remote. I think it's working but I see the following error message in the terminal:


ERROR : nfs: failing create to indicate lack of support for 'exclusive' mode.

Can I safely ignore this error message?

Background Info


$ rclone version

rclone v1.68.1

- os/version: darwin 15.1 (64 bit)

- os/kernel: 24.1.0 (arm64)

- os/type: darwin

- os/arch: arm64 (ARMv8 compatible)

- go/version: go1.23.1

- go/linking: dynamic

- go/tags: none

I am not using a cloud storage system, I'm using Local Disk for my remote.

Here's the command I'm running:


rclone nfsmount --vfs-cache-mode full localcrypt:/path/to/files /path/to/local/mount

Here's my config:


[local]

type = local

[localcrypt]

type = crypt

remote = local:/path/to/folder

password = XXX

password2 = XXX

An example log can be viewed here: rclone.log · GitHub

Thanks for the help, rclone rocks!

nfsmount on macOS is work in progress. There are still some issues to be fixed, e.g. Microsoft Office apps can't write on an S3 mount when mounted with nfsmount on MacOS 14.5 · Issue #7973 · rclone/rclone · GitHub

I prefer still rclone mount and FUSE-T. It is kext-less and uses NFS as well.

If nfsmount works for you - and you do not have any issues then you can ignore any warnings and errors. But no guarantees what results will be:)

Thank you, this is super helpful! I'm going to switch over to FUSE-T...

You can even install FUSE-T without root:) There is "how to" in the below issue discussion:

It reminds me that I should send PR re FUSE-T as existing one is really outdated

but the easiest is to use brew - because then it is super easy to always update it to the latest version (it is also under active dev with improvements and fixes released quite often)

I've installed FUSE-T using brew and the rclone binary available at Rclone downloads

I run this command:

rclone mount --vfs-cache-mode full local:/Users/amarder/Desktop ~/my-mount

When I copy a file into my-mount I get the following error (dialog box):

The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 100093).

It looks like the Cryptomator community has hit this issue before:

I'll see what I can figure out...

This comment got rid of the error message for me:

I've modified my rclone command to:

rclone mount -o nonamedattr --vfs-cache-mode full local:/Users/amarder/Desktop ~/my-mount

Thank you for sharing. So it needs some FUSE-T extra flags. I will try to add this to docs as well.
