Vfs-cache-mode writes How to change directory?

Help and Support
1

Hello!

Can someone please tell me how do I change the VFS cache directory while using --vfs-cache-mode writes please ? It's driving me crazy, I can't find this information anywhere :frowning:

Thanks!

It's --cache-dir

Hello @Animosity022 thanks for your lightning fast answer !

Anyway, It doesnt work for me. It's still using the default directory (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\rclone).

I'm using this to mount my drive :

cd c:\rclone
rclone mount gdrive: X: --vfs-cache-mode writes
--cache-dir F:\rclone
--allow-other
--allow-non-empty

Anything I'm doing wrong? I'm on windows btw, thanks !

I'd remove allow-non-empty and never use it as it allows for over mounting and hiding things.

Run the same mount command with -vv on it and share the output as that will tell us if it is working or not.

Ok now I've tried this :

cd c:\rclone
rclone mount gdrive: X: --vfs-cache-mode writes
--vv
--cache-dir F:\rclone
--allow-other

But still not working :frowning:

Do you have another idea?

EDIT:
FFS I'm retarded. I've used --vv. Let me try -vv instead :sleeping:

Need to share the output :slight_smile:

7

Excuse I'm new to this, what do you mean by share the output, what i'm supposed to do? And does the fact that I used "--vv" instead of "-vv" change anything?

8

When you type in that command to mount it, it creates output to the screen/logfile.

If you can share the output of when you ran that command so I can see what it is doing from the logs, that helps me to understand what the cause would be.

The "-vv" creates debug output so we can identify why the flag that should be working isn't.

Here you go :slight_smile:

You didn't add --cache-dir F:\rclone to your mount command.

Ohhh I got it : I was doing it like that : Screenshot - e7eae238a2d7433ad3989065c30810c1 - Gyazo

And apparently It wouldn't work...

And now using this : Screenshot - 973afa4bbd81ef3ec7349cb7a042f5c0 - Gyazo

Thank you very much !!
