What is the problem you are having with rclone?
RCLONE_UID=557 ('pacs' user)
RCLONE_GID=557 ('pacs' user)
sudo -u pacs touch -d "2020-01-01 00:00:00" /union/pacs-user.txt
(runs ok)
sudo -u tomcat touch -d "2020-01-01 00:00:00" /union/tomcat-user.txt
touch: setting times of '/union/tomcat-user.txt': Operation not permitted
We're encountering some issues when another user tries to set file timestamps. Could someone help us troubleshoot and resolve this?
In this case, the filesystem is mounted as 'pacs', and the issue occurs when attempting to create a file as the 'tomcat' user.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
