Upload cache removing original files

[brenrich101]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm using rclone version 1.68.2. The command I'm running is 'rclone mount Jottacloud: J: --vfs-cache-mode writes --vfs-cache-max-size 1'.

When I copy files to the rclone mounted drive J:, it removes them, moves them into the cache, and then when the file is uploaded, puts them back into J:. It should keep the files in J: while it's uploading from cache. What could be wrong?

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.68.2

• os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (64 bit)
• os/kernel: 10.0.22631.4602 (x86_64)
• os/type: windows
• os/arch: amd64
• go/version: go1.23.3
• go/linking: static
• go/tags: cmount

Yes

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Jottacloud

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone mount Jottacloud: J: --vfs-cache-mode writes --vfs-cache-max-size 1

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag

Thank you! Do I just run my usual command with the -vv flag? Do I need to do anything else? (Sorry I'm fairly new to this!)

That's it for the most part.

You can use --log-file /some/log/location

Generally, files go back in the cache because something asked to write to them. The logs would show this.
