## rclone mount
|
|
|
|
Mount the remote as a mountpoint. **EXPERIMENTAL**
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rclone mount allows Linux, FreeBSD and macOS to mount any of Rclone's
|
|
cloud storage systems as a file system with FUSE.
|
|
|
|
This is **EXPERIMENTAL** - use with care.
|
|
|
|
First set up your remote using `rclone config`. Check it works with `rclone ls` etc.
|
|
|
|
Start the mount like this
|
|
|
|
rclone mount remote:path/to/files /path/to/local/mount
|
|
|
|
When the program ends, either via Ctrl+C or receiving a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal,
|
|
the mount is automatically stopped.
|
|
|
|
The umount operation can fail, for example when the mountpoint is busy.
|
|
When that happens, it is the user's responsibility to stop the mount manually with
|
|
|
|
# Linux
|
|
fusermount -u /path/to/local/mount
|
|
# OS X
|
|
umount /path/to/local/mount
|
|
|
|
### Limitations ###
|
|
|
|
This can only write files seqentially, it can only seek when reading.
|
|
This means that many applications won't work with their files on an
|
|
rclone mount.
|
|
|
|
The bucket based remotes (eg Swift, S3, Google Compute Storage, B2,
|
|
Hubic) won't work from the root - you will need to specify a bucket,
|
|
or a path within the bucket. So `swift:` won't work whereas
|
|
`swift:bucket` will as will `swift:bucket/path`.
|
|
None of these support the concept of directories, so empty
|
|
directories will have a tendency to disappear once they fall out of
|
|
the directory cache.
|
|
|
|
Only supported on Linux, FreeBSD and OS X at the moment.
|
|
|
|
### rclone mount vs rclone sync/copy ##
|
|
|
|
File systems expect things to be 100% reliable, whereas cloud storage
|
|
systems are a long way from 100% reliable. The rclone sync/copy
|
|
commands cope with this with lots of retries. However rclone mount
|
|
can't use retries in the same way without making local copies of the
|
|
uploads. This might happen in the future, but for the moment rclone
|
|
mount won't do that, so will be less reliable than the rclone command.
|
|
|
|
### Filters ###
|
|
|
|
Note that all the rclone filters can be used to select a subset of the
|
|
files to be visible in the mount.
|
|
|
|
### Directory Cache ###
|
|
|
|
Using the `--dir-cache-time` flag, you can set how long a
|
|
directory should be considered up to date and not refreshed from the
|
|
backend. Changes made locally in the mount may appear immediately or
|
|
invalidate the cache. However, changes done on the remote will only
|
|
be picked up once the cache expires.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can send a `SIGHUP` signal to rclone for
|
|
it to flush all directory caches, regardless of how old they are.
|
|
Assuming only one rclone instance is running, you can reset the cache
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
kill -SIGHUP $(pidof rclone)
|
|
|
|
### Bugs ###
|
|
|
|
* All the remotes should work for read, but some may not for write
|
|
* those which need to know the size in advance won't - eg B2
|
|
* maybe should pass in size as -1 to mean work it out
|
|
* Or put in an an upload cache to cache the files on disk first
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone mount remote:path /path/to/mountpoint [flags]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
