Rclone.service failed

Hi, I am having issues mounting rclone. Its configured properly but couldn't sort out rclone.service. Could you please help. Thank you

I also uncomment this line from user_allow_other from fuse.conf

After this I ran sudo systemctl daemon-reload and then these sudo systemctl start rclone.service sudo systemctl enable rclone.service

But not sure why I am getting this message.

Animosity022 · May 31, 2020, 8:04pm

You'd remove fast-list as it does nothing on a mount.

mouzzampk2014 · May 31, 2020, 8:25pm

I commented the line and just re ran but same error

Thank you

mouzzampk2014 · May 31, 2020, 8:36pm

After commenting --fast-list

I have this log

You need to run systemctl daemon-reload after you make changes to a service file.

mouzzampk2014 · May 31, 2020, 10:15pm

Yes I done that too

Animosity022 · May 31, 2020, 11:45pm

That means you did not change the file as the same error is there.

mouzzampk2014 · June 1, 2020, 9:21am

Let me post the file again and error. So basically I removed the line and then saved the file.

And then I ran these commands one by one

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start rclone.service
sudo systemctl enable rclone.service

But after this sudo systemctl start rclone.service I get this error

Can you cat your rclone.service file and post that.

systemctl status rclone
journalctl -u rclone -b

and share the output.

Animosity022 · June 1, 2020, 12:27pm

That version of rclone is about 3-4 years old.

Please update it:

https://rclone.org/downloads/

So the flags do not work, which is also why that's a question the template for the first post...

mouzzampk2014 · June 1, 2020, 12:37pm

Thank you so much. Much appreciated working perfectly fine. Can I ask another question

Why I need to uncomment this user_allow_other?

If I commented this line I get error but if I uncomment then its fine?

Thank you again and you have been very helpful

Animosity022 · June 1, 2020, 1:01pm

If you use the flag with rclone --allow-other, it makes any fuse mount accessible via other users on the server.

So if you ran a rclone mount as user 'bob' and wanted user 'joe' to access it, you need to mount with allow other. That requires a /etc/fuse.conf change on the system so you have to have root to do that as on a multi user server/seedbox, that would be not a good thing to do.

mouzzampk2014 · June 8, 2020, 9:33pm

Thank you so much. Apologise for very late response

Have a very good evening. Thanks again and much appreciated for all your help. Works flawlessly
