Rclone mount and egress

[Animosity022]

That seems to be about 2 minutes of logs so still not very much to look at.

I see no downloads and the only thing going on is that it is still walking the directory structure as something is walking the tree.

That would be very little to no download traffic.

Hi! The problem persists with another S3-compatible provider (Storj). And I believe the media streaming application isn't the one to be blamed, as the high egress rates continues even when the media application is shut down (only a rclone mounted the storj bucket running on the server). The shot shows the egress rates for the last two days (when the media application was down).

And the last 10000000 lines of rclone.log:
rclone.log.zip

Take one day, 02/03 as an example.

Rclone does nothing on its own and only applications request things from the mount.

So your assumption of only a rclone mount running with nothing access isn't right as the logs indicate otherwise. You'd have to figure out what else is using your mount as rclone by itself really does nothing.
