Rclone Crypt with Cache, can't copy files to Drive?

Help and Support
1

Hello! I’m currently running with the new common setup of drive -> cache -> crypt, and I’m struggling to upload files with the following command

rclone copy /var/lib/plexmediaserver/.staging/ gcrypt:/ --transfers=3 --checkers=15 --stats=10s -v --filter-from=/var/lib/plexmediaserver/scripts/rclone-filter.txt

This worked fine before the whole cache update and I’ve checked all the permissions and files are in order/correct. The error rclone gives me when trying to copy is

Any idea what’s going wrong? Thanks!
p.s loving the cache update :slight_smile:

Looks like another rclone instance is already using the cache; you can only run one at a time with cache.

Try
ps -ef | grep rclone
to see what running

There is, it’s mounted. Can I not rclone copy files in that case then? How do I move files onto the drive using rclone crypt without writing directly to the mount now then? :frowning:

You would need a duplicate crypt entry in rclone config to both use crypt directly and thru a cached mount.

Your mount would be your excisting setup:
drive -> cache -> crypt

and then for the direct copy do:
drive -> crypt2
