Rclone mount becoming unresponsive

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I've temporarily reduced my vfs cache size from 500G to 200G while I'm rebuilding my library.
However, I noticed every so often rclone becomes unresponsive.

When looking at the log file I always see the same thing when this happens:

PurgeClean is always trying to remove an item while it still in use.

In some instances I seen the log file grow to 1TB+ because the same file kept spamming the logs

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

rclone v1.57.0-beta.5741.7b66ca132

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 2009 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.22000.258 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.2
  • go/linking: dynamic
  • go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

Paste command here
mount Union-crypt:Anime A: 
--volname Anime 
--file-perms 0777 
--dir-perms 0777 
--vfs-cache-mode full 
--dir-cache-time 96h 
--vfs-cache-max-age 48h 
--vfs-read-chunk-size 128M 
--poll-interval 2m 
--vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off 
--vfs-cache-max-size off 
--buffer-size 256M
 --cache-dir "C:\Rclone Cache"
 --vfs-cache-max-size 100G 
--drive-chunk-size 1M  
--drive-server-side-across-configs=true 
--attr-timeout 1000h 
--vfs-cache-poll-interval=1m

I've added --vfs-cache-poll-interval=1m after the issue started happening because from the logs it looked like it was being pooled more often than once per minute

You only gave 1 second of a log so it's a bit tough to see much other than normal polling.

Polls happen based on what the poll interval is set to so you'd see that every minute based on your setup.

You didn't include a rclone.conf so don't really know what your setup is either.

Sorry for the lack of info, when I'm back in my PC I'll share the config.

You see the issue with the logs is that's all that shows on it when it happens I've had to setup rotating logs so what happened with the screenshot doesn't happen again.

It doesn't reproduce all the time so far I've seen it reproduce three times.

Once before I manually set the pooling to 1m.

Then twice after I set it to 1m.

This screenshot was after the first time it happened.

The setup is an encrypted Union with 10 google drive team drives.

Your command also doesn't match up as you have INFO level logging but the default command just logs NOTICE.

If you are running something different than what you listed, it also makes it tough as that's why we ask for a debug log as it has the running command / version in the first line of the debug log.

On the surface, it seems like you have logging too high for your config if it's constantly spamming the log.

Sorry I copied the command from a file and forgot I had further edited it, this is the full command run by nssm to start up the service

On the surface, it seems like you have logging too high for your config if it's constantly spamming the log.

Shouldn't Rclone try to delete see that's being used and then schedule removal for later instead of getting stuck on a loop trying to delete it?

While I was getting these files it looks like it happened again.

It's super tough as you have a single second of a log file and nothing else.

You need to:

  • Change log level to debug
  • Try to recreate the issue
  • Share the full debug log
