Systemd mount - failed to unmount

[ncw (Nick Craig-Wood)]

This is what my systemd config looks like for the mount which serves beta.rclone.org. Probably the major difference is the Type=notify - rclone understands systemd notifications so maybe that will help?

Also once I’m got this sorted what is the best way to get data onto gdrive? I have approx 1.5TB to backup. Is sync the way forward? Should I unmount before running it?

I would use rclone sync or rclone copy to transfer the data - that is the most reliable way. You don’t need to stop the mount - it will gradually appear in the mount when the --dir-cache-time 72h expires.
