+#### Backend bugs
+
+Due to [issue #39](https://github.com/storj/gateway-mt/issues/39)
+uploading multipart files via the S3 gateway causes them to lose their
+metadata. For rclone's purpose this means that the modification time
+is not stored, nor is any MD5SUM (if one is available from the
+source).
+
+This has the following consequences:
+
+- Using `rclone rcat` will fail as the medatada doesn't match after upload
+- Uploading files with `rclone mount` will fail for the same reason
+    - This can worked around by using `--vfs-cache-mode writes` or `--vfs-cache-mode full` or setting `--s3-upload-cutoff` large
+- Files uploaded via a multipart upload won't have their modtimes
+    - This will mean that `rclone sync` will likely keep trying to upload files bigger than `--s3-upload-cutoff`
+    - This can be worked around with `--checksum` or `--size-only` or setting `--s3-upload-cutoff` large
+    - The maximum value for `--s3-upload-cutoff` is 5GiB though
+
+One general purpose workaround is to set `--s3-upload-cutoff 5G`. This
+means that rclone will upload files smaller than 5GiB as single parts.
+Note that this can be set in the config file with `upload_cutoff = 5G`
+or configured in the advanced settings. If you regularly transfer
+files larger than 5G then using `--checksum` or `--size-only` in
+`rclone sync` is the recommended workaround.

 #### Comparison with the native protocol
