I have RClone running with WinFSP and I have mounted the drive using the command “rclone mount gdrive:/ X: -v” I can open files from the drive but when I try to move a file to the drive I get an error that says “Can’t truncate files”.
What’s the cause/solution? Or what info can I provide to help find the solution?
The file system that rclone makes has quite a few limitations. These are limitations of the cloud provider itself thouhg - they can’t truncate files.
I plan to make a mode where rclone buffers writable files to disk which will fix these problems - in time for the 1.38 release hopefully.
Was this feature delayed?
Rclone mount in 1.38 with Google Drive still states Can’t truncate files when moving files to it’s directory, and opening in read/write isn’t supported.
Yes it was delayed. it is in the latest beta - you’ll need one of the --cache-mode options - do rclone mount --help to see them.
