What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I am using rclone to mount Google Drive and layer Samba on top to make the Google Drive share accessible as an SMB network drive on my local network. However, I am encountering file permission errors when I try to run both Samba and rclone together.
- Issue:
- Samba works fine by itself.
- rclone works fine by itself.
- When I run both, after rclone is mounted, Samba becomes unwritable.
- Previously, Samba allowed writes, but after running the rclone command, the Samba share becomes locked.
I have configured the fuse with user_allow_other and checked permissions on /srv/samba/scans. However, the issue persists.
Additionally, rclone works fine the first time it’s started. However, when I stop rclone and try to run it again, I get the following error:
~$ rclone mount GoogleDrive: /srv/samba/scans --allow-non-empty --allow-other -vv
