Hi, I have a mounting problem again on a new machine. Would really appreciate any insight into where I might be going wrong because I tried everything I knew and what I could find online.
What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Unable to mount bucket. The command runs, but gets stuck after that. Tried with 2 different access grants. One that gives access to both buckets, other that lets you see one bucket. In both cases, rclone seems to be able to create the remote but it still freezes after running the mount commmand.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.58.1
os/version: rocky 8.6 (64 bit)
os/kernel: 5.13.0-40-generic (x86_64)
os/type: linux
os/arch: amd64
go/version: go1.17.9
go/linking: static
go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Storj DCS
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone mount arthaus_storj_library /mnt/arthaus_buckets/ --allow-other --log-file=/mnt/logs/rclonelog.txt --log-level DEBUG
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[arthaus_storj_library]
type = storj
access_grant = "accessgrant"

Thank you @Animosity022! I can't believe I didn't spot that. Feel very foolish now
The command went through quickly this time. However I still don't see my folders from the bucket. I wonder if it might be an access grant issue like last time. I'll try making a new grant and try again.
Here's the log for the current attempt:
2022/07/14 13:51:58 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.58.1" starting with parameters ["rclone" "mount" "arthaus_storj_library:" "/mnt/arthaus_buckets/" "--allow-other" "--log-file=/mnt/logs/rclonelog.txt" "--log-level" "DEBUG"]

Thank you again for your help. I'll come report back in a bit, if the access grant thing works out.
I ran it as sudo, not as root (would it be the same?, sorry I'm still learning). I remember reading in the forum last time that root is not recommended and --allow-other is the correct method. I had to use sudo because there was an error about permissions for the log file:
Failed to open log file: open /mnt/logs/rclonelog.txt: permission denied
I ran these commands as you suggested:
rclone about arthaus_storj_library:
Sudo is basically switch over to run to run a command as root.
felix@gemini:~$ sudo whoami
root
You'd want to put the log somewhere you can write not use root. Use something like /home/whateveruseryourare/logs and make a directory to put the logs.
You'd need to create the directory first.
When you share commands since I can't see what you are doing, it's very helpful to type and share the entire content.

Hi @Animosity022. I think I have a permissions problem. I made a new logs folder under /home/ and rclone still gives me the permission denied error. I believe my account is in the sudoers user group, so not sure why the permissions are so restrictive.
Here's a copy of the commands I ran:
[vsuvarna@arthaus arthaus_buckets]$ cd /home/
[vsuvarna@arthaus home]$ ls
vsuvarna
[vsuvarna@arthaus home]$ mkdir logs
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘logs’: Permission denied
[vsuvarna@arthaus home]$ sudo mkdir logs
[vsuvarna@arthaus home]$ ls
logs vsuvarna
[vsuvarna@arthaus home]$ cd /
[vsuvarna@arthaus /]$ rclone mount arthaus_storj_library /mnt/arthaus_buckets/ --allow-other --log-file=/home/logs/rclonelog.txt --log-level DEBUG -vv
2022/07/14 14:15:56 Failed to open log file: open /home/logs/rclonelog.txt: permission denied
Really appreciate your patience and time for guiding me through this @Animosity022
That makes sense. I was mistaken that /home/ sits under /username/ and therefore every user may have their own home directory. Really sorry about these noob mistakes.
I was able to make a logs directory and run the command without sudo. However the log says fusermount doesnt have write permissions. Please take a look:

I'm trying to look up solutions on the side as well. Thank you again @Animosity022. This would have been 10x more difficult without your help.
You have to make a directory where you can write to so you can mount it.
felix@gemini:~$ rclone mount GD: /home/felix/test
2022/07/14 10:58:53 Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: mountpoint does not exist: /home/felix/test
felix@gemini:~$ mkdir test
felix@gemini:~$ rclone mount GD: /home/felix/test
^C2022/07/14 10:59:07 ERROR : /home/felix/test: Unmounted rclone mount
If you plan to mount in a /mnt location, you'd have to work through the permissions to allow that.
Do you know which of the 3 permission groups (owner, group, public) would rclone fall under? I could try to modify permissions and run it again (unless you advise against it). If that fails again, then I'll do as you suggested to mount in a write friendly folder.
It might be worthwhile to read through something like this:
There's no reason to mount outside of your home directory.
Permissions really don't have anything directly to do with rclone, it's more how you are securing your server setup. If you have multiple users on it, you'd probably want to restrict to your home directory so other people can't get access.
I use a single server and have experience so my setup is more customized to my particular use case which works great for me and my setup.
My goal is simple so the less changes you have to make, start there before making it complex.
Thank you animosity, that makes sense. I remember reading this article by DO, but I could use a refresher. I have to step away from the computer now, but I will try to mount it again in a write friendly folder and report back on how it went. Thank you again for your time and patience.
Hi, I wanted to leave an update regarding this problem. It was a permissions problem. I used chown to change the owner of the mounting folder from root to me. Once that was done the same command worked as intended. I want to thank Animosity022 again for their time and patience.
