Rclone settings with polling

[Entixs]

I am just a bit confused on

--vfs-cache-poll-interval
--poll-interval 

Do I need both or just one of them. There was a problem after I altered my rclone mount script where the files got stuck on mounted drive which I have no idea why.

This is my rclone script.
rclone mount --allow-other --checkers=12 --fast-list --dir-cache-time 1000h --vfs-cache-poll-interval 15s --poll-interval 15s --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 500G --vfs-cache-max-age 336h --drive-chunk-size=32M --cache-dir /home/entix/tmp/rclone/vfs --dir-cache-time 72h --vfs-read-chunk-size 256M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off --buffer-size 256M --log-level ERROR --log-file /mnt/user/mount_rclone/rclone.log gDrive:/ /mnt/gdrive --stats 1m

I did put my log into debug mode to check if it was invalidating the files with the polling which it did. I had both vfs-cache-poll-interval and poll-interval options in the script which maybe helped with invalidating the files. Maybe it was just a one off and just wasn't working for some odd reason. Any help would be awesome!

--poll-interval

That's for when changes happen on the remote as Google Drive supports polling.

@Entixs

--vfs-cache-poll-interval

That depends on what version you are running as they have some impact on what stays in the cache.

@Entixs

--checkers=12 --fast-list

That does nothing on a mount and can be removed.

@Entixs

--vfs-read-chunk-size 256M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off --buffer-size 256M

I'd remove that and just use the defaults. Generally use the defaults unless you have a reason for changing them.

That's really weird. That's what I had set before I set --vfs-cache-poll-interval into the script. Do you know why files would get stuck even when i had poll-interval set? You probably wouldn't know unless I had a debug log of it... I am running on rclone version 1.53.1

Okay, thanks for the recommendation. I will do that and lets see how it behaves.

I am not sure what you mean by stuck. You'd have to give more details or provide a log file.

I mean like on drive.google.com I removed several files from there but the mounted drive still saw those files even after 12 hour span. I had to unmount the drive and remount it to clear them.

you have duplicate flags

--dir-cache-time 1000h
--dir-cache-time 72h

[Entixs]

Oh dang. Thanks for the catch. didn't even realized that I did that.

[Animosity022]

poll-interval picks up changes via notification from Google Drive.

Don't know what version you are running nor a debug log of the issue.

[Entixs]

Which should of been picked a while ago from Google Drive but didn't. I wish I could replicate the issue but not too sure if it will come back up. Are you talking about rclone version?

[Animosity022]

Right, basically the stuff in the help and support template you deleted and didn't fill in.

[Entixs]

I did state it in my other post.

I am running this version.

rclone v1.53.1
- os/arch: linux/amd64
- go version: go1.15

[Animosity022]

So if you have the problem, you'd need to capture a debug log and we'd go from there.

[Entixs]

Okay thanks! If I do have another issue. I will try to grab a debug log of it.
