wessel1512 · November 13, 2019, 1:04pm

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

i am trying to mount rclone on startup

What is your rclone version (output from `rclone version`)

rclone v1.50.1

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

ubuntu 18.04.3

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

privet ftp share whit crypto

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:

A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some

if i mount i via the command (rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount secure: /media/secure) it works

I have

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Otherwise my systemd config is very similar.

I think adding the WantedBy line will probably fix it (not a systemd expert!)

Animosity022 · November 13, 2019, 1:06pm

The best thing is to use a line in there

--log-level INFO \
--log-file /tmp/rclone.log

And check what the error is mounting in the log file it creates as you have a typo somewhere, but it's not readily apparent.

That does nothing on a mount and and can be removed.

You'd want Type=notify rather than simple.

wessel1512 · November 13, 2019, 1:59pm

noting change for me change
no log file in /tmp/
also nothing in the syslog

Animosity022 · November 13, 2019, 2:24pm

Did you:

systemctl daemon-reload

And start it up again?

What’s
systemctl status of the service show?

wessel1512 · November 13, 2019, 2:38pm

same error after daemon-reload

Looks like you have some typos in the file at lines 22 , 24 and 30.

Can you post the latest file in the code block with the backtics `

You put to it into a code block by using 3 backtics at the line before and after.

Three of these `

like this

And paste your service file into that.

can any one help me further white this problem

maybe a example config

Should be:

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Should be:

Type=notify

Fix those, run systemctl daemon-reload

and post the results.
