Rclone gdrive mount not refreshing used space, only after remount

Nick, my GDrive Windows mount has never updated the space used reported in Windows Explorer. Only a remount reflects it correctly. For example, if I start a mount and it shows 1 PB free of 1.81 PB, and I then upload enough to make it go over 0.82 PB, the mount won't show that automatically. I always thought this was normal behavior.

What does rclone about nameofyourremote: say?

The mount info is based on that.

I'll test that today. Just checked now, and will check again after upload.

hi,
rclone about does display update stats after upload, with a delay of a few seconds. as gdrive itself has a delay.
but rclone mount will wait until --dir-cache-time expires to update free space.

i did a few tests with rclone.exe mount gdrive-a1b2: x: --dir-cache-time=1s

• if i upload a set of files via the mount, as soon as each file has been uploaded, the free space is updated in real-time, just like you would expect from a local file system.
• using gdrive website, if i delete those files and empty trash, the mount will change to reflect that almost in real-time

What about with a high dir-cache-time, but after a refresh? That would be my case.

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

1. rclone.exe mount gdrive-a1b2: x: --dir-cache-time=1000h --rc
2. copy files to mount
3. rclone.exe rc vfs/refresh recursive=true -vv
4. free space did not refresh.

[VBB]

So I wasn't going crazy!

BTW, does -vv do anything for you with the refresh? I thought a refresh did not have any output at this time.

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

about going crazy, i think the best reply is no comment as i could get in trouble in the forum.
but you know what i am thinking, going, going, gone....
i mean, really, anybody using an avatar like that has to be ...

rclone.exe rc vfs/refresh recursive=true -vv

New rclone flag --no-comment to be followed by --timeout

OK, that's what I thought about -v or -vv with refresh. What I'm waiting for is output of what it's actually doing.

[asdffdsa (jojothehumanmonkey)]

LOL,

rclone rc vfs/refresh recursive=true -vv --dump headers
edit: does not show anything useful

editedit: add --dump headers with a log file to the mount command and then do a refresh.
there is stuff in that log file about the refresh.

The mount info is based on that.

Almost had a heart attack just now after I re-mounted

Windows Explorer showed the mount as having lost 40TB! So, I ran about again, and it turns out that G had finally emptied a large chunk of the trash.

Just to confirm, though: the USED amount shown with about includes the trash, right? RIGHT?

It doesn't appear to for my basic google account , but the rules may be different for enterprise accounts or shared drives...

[VBB]

Thanks Nick. That appears to be the case. I'll report back, since I still have more than 100TB in the trash
