Previously I was running rclone in a "screen" or "byobu" on my linux server which was working very well since I could ssh in and out without any issues and always read the logs in the console if necessary (using the -v flag)
the major downside is that rclone would not start automatically if the system was rebooted.
So I decided to start rclone as a service using "supervisor" to make it more stable.
While trying to automate the start and stop I noticed a couple of problems that are actually not connected to supervisor, but rather a problem of how I use rclone.
The major problem is that usually rclone doesn't quit 'clean' for me. Suppose I run rclone mount manually on my shell. I then quit rclone by Ctr+C and want to restart it, but it won't let me because the unmounting didn't work. At this point the folder is already not usable anymore, but blocks remounting.
whiteloader@whiteloader:~$ rclone mount crypt2: /mnt/shared/fusemounts/SB/ --allow-other -v --fast-list --buffer-size=16M --vfs-cache-mode full --dir-cache-time 172h --vfs-read-chunk-size 16M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 512M --vfs-cache-max-age 5000h --vfs-cache-poll-interval 10m --umask 0 --vfs-write-back 5m --cache-dir /mnt/shared/media/cache/ --vfs-cache-max-size 1T
2021/01/24 21:53:30 Fatal error: Can not open: /mnt/shared/fusemounts/SB/: open /mnt/shared/fusemounts/SB/: transport endpoint is not connected
Well it's no problem if I do it manually, I simply run fusermount -uz /mnt/shared/fusemounts/SB and then I can mount again. However my supervisor can't do that and fails after 3 tries of starting rclone.
.
So my question is:
Is there a command line option for rclone that forces the remount ? (basically running fusermount -uz automatically if mounting fails. If not, could I workaround this somehow by cleverly using supervisor or scripting?
Alternatively is it possible to instruct rclone to force unmount the mount when it quits?
.
below is a copy of my supervisor config for you reference:
[program:rcloneSB]
command=rclone mount crypt2: /mnt/shared/fusemounts/suptest/ --allow-other -v --fast-list --buffer-size=16M --vfs-cache-mode full --dir-cache-time 172h --vfs-read-chunk-size 16M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 512M --vfs-cache-max-age 5000h --vfs-cache-poll-interval 10m --umask 0 --vfs-write-back 5m --cache-dir /mnt/shared/media/cache/ --vfs-cache-max-size 1T
autostart=true
user=whiteloader
stdout_logfile=/home/whiteloader/rclonelogs/sb.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=100MB
stdout_logfile_backups=20
stderr_logfile=/home/whiteloader/rclonelogs/sb_err.loc
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=100MB
stderr_logfile_backups=10
environment=HOME="/home/whiteloader",USER="whiteloader"
another weird thing is that all my output from rclone in supervisor goes to stderr instead of stdout. Not sure if this is a rclone or supervisor problem though.
Thank you very much in advance!
