not really a rclone question.
so, either delete the file named Test or change the path for the rclone mountpoint.

most/all of your questions can be answered by reading the rclone docs, reading the forum, and reading the rclone debug logs.
going forward, i cannot help you with every little problem.
good luck.

Thanks asdffdsa


:~$ rclone mount Test: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test

2025/06/04 07:53:34 CRITICAL: Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE
fs: cannot open: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test: open
/home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test: no such file or directory

Yet RClone Shutter opens and I see appearing
/IsaricGdrive et /IsaricGdrive/Test

I don't see where they went up?
So I am amazed to see the empty file

:~$ ls -l IsaricGdrive
`total 0

I create /test and launched
:~$ rclone mount Test: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test

I access it and I can open the file 1.jpg
I can save under 1.jpg in 2.jpg
and also open 1.pdf and save it in 2.PDF
Basket them.

Then I open test_000.odt and I see:

:~$ rclone mount Test: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test`
2025/06/04 08:56:54 ERROR :

Should we add

add '--vfs-cache-mode=writes' or '–vfs-cache-mode=full'

And if so, what do I add it?

[edit]
https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/
I test:

:~$ rclone mount Test: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test  --vfs-cache-mode
writes

It seems to work :slightly_smiling_face:

26

Can we use the command

:~$ rclone mount Test: /home/isaric/IsaricGdrive/Test  --vfs-cache-mode
writes

to open an additional Alias
[Test] with remote = IsaricGdrive:/Test
and [Test2] remote = IsaricGdrive:/Test2

27

use a combine remote.

Merci asdffdsa
I added in rclone config


[IsaricTest12]
type = combine
upstreams = Test=Test: Test2=Test2:
