How to mount rclone with gdrive - to Synology NAS?

[Morphy]

Hi all .

I have created a Googledrive folder on my Synology NAS via Control panel and Share folders with my main admin account user with read write access.

My rclone is located at /bin/rclone
Rclone config located at my admin user account /volume1/homes/username/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

When I run a script created at /volume1/username/script.sh:

/usr/bin/rclone mount Googlecrypt:/ /volume1/Googledrive --config=/volume1/homes/username/.config/rclone/rclone.conf --allow-other &

I see that the folder I have created is now gone.

I simply don’t know what’s going wrong . I even tried to add --allow-non-empty. Both without success.

No matter what I try - I cant see the content from gdrive , or I either get the info from Synology that this user dont have the proper access etc.

Any takers how I solve this?

Happy New Year

@Morphy

/usr/bin/rclone mount -vv Googlecrypt:/ /volume1/Googledrive --config=/volume1/homes/username/.config/rclone/rclone.conf --allow-other

If you run this command just in a shell without the & (ampersand) it should display some debugging info. Does that show any problems?

(It will tie up the shell window and to stop you will need to use ctrl-c, but that will close the rclone mount, so I would have 2 ssh windows open to your nas.)

After running the command, then In the other shell window what do you see if you enter:

cd /volume1/Googledrive
then
ls

/usr/bin/rclone mount -vv Googlecrypt:/ /volume1/Googledrive --config=/volume1/homes/username/.config/rclone/rclone.conf --allow-other

Hi

I get this:

And folder is empty

[Morphy]

And if I add allow-none-empty it shows this error:

Cat /etc/fuse.conf

Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users.

The default is 1000.

mount_max = -1

Allow non-root users to specify the ‘allow_other’ or ‘allow_root’

mount options.

user_allow_other

[blim5001]

hmm, so that all kind of looks ok.

fuse.conf is the same as mine

# Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users.
# The default is 1000.
#
mount_max = -1

# Allow non-root users to specify the 'allow_other' or 'allow_root'
# mount options.
#
user_allow_other

is your drive listed if you just run
mount

if it is un mount it with
fusermount -uz /volume1/Googledrive

Now let’s go back to basics.

can you try these 2 commands… do they both show the folders in your encypted drive?

/usr/bin/rclone --config=/volume1/homes/username/.config/rclone/rclone.conf lsd Googlecrypt:

/usr/bin/rclone --config=/volume1/homes/username/.config/rclone/rclone.conf lsd Googlecrypt:/

(I do not have a forward slash on my encrypted mount command)

[Morphy]

If i just run that command - everything is working fine. The problem is that I cant mount it .

Seems and looks like its a problem with rights from the system.

[Morphy]

I also tried with and without forward slash - dont make any difference .

[blim5001]

Just checking, are you still running synology DSM6 (or have you updated to the DSM7 beta)

[blim5001]

If I look at my mountpoint when not mounted via the terminal (ssh) then I see permissions:

drwxrwxrwx+ 1 nasadmin users 0 Aug 17 2019 gSuite2-enc

In that it is owned by my user and has full permissions.

Edit

and have just updated my DSM to DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3

and my mounts are still working.

[Morphy]

Hi mate , thanks for assisting

Im still running DSM 6.x not 7 beta .

Can you post your mount script and how to you do it?

Are you executing script in ssh, or how do you do it?

Please post your setup

Thanks

[blim5001]

I have a bash script that mounts a load of team drives.

But before using that I make sure the mounts all work just by running the mount commands in the shell (ssh)

my current mount command for my encypted drive is this:

/volume1/homes/nasadmin/bin/rclone mount GDenc:/ /volume1/media/_mounts/gSuiteEnc \
--allow-other \
--drive-server-side-across-configs \
--vfs-cache-mode writes \
--vfs-cache-max-size 100G \
--vfs-cache-max-age 1h \
--dir-cache-time 1000h \
--cache-dir=/volume1/homes/nasadmin/_caches/rclone/gSuiteEnc \
--log-level INFO \
--log-file /volume1/homes/nasadmin/_logs/rclone/gSuiteEnc/gSuiteEnc.log \
--poll-interval 15s \
--umask 002 \
--user-agent nas-gs2 \
--use-mmap \
--config="/var/services/homes/nasadmin/.config/rclone/rclone.conf"  &

A guide I did a while ago is here:

Synology - Plex Tips

[Morphy]

Cheers mate . I see that your rclone is located in your homes. Havent tried that out.
But I dont think that it would change anything for me.

Will try some settings of yours. Will report back tomorrow evening

Thanks

[blim5001]

yeb tbh, I would not have thought it matters where rclone is.

That’s why I am bit puzzled why yours is not working.

[Morphy]

@blim5001

/volume1/homes/nasadmin/bin/rclone mount GDenc:/ /volume1/media/_mounts/gSuiteEnc \

Your config is working

So have you just made a mount.sh script and then execute at start up?

[blim5001]

yay although I still wonder why your one did not seem to work.

@Morphy

So have you just made a mount.sh script and then execute at start up?

Sort of, I have a script that runs every minute and checks for a folder in the mount.

If it does not find the directory/folder it runs an unmount command (just to make sure it is unmounted and not stuck in limbo) followed by the mount command

my script is called:
nas-remouter.sh

Which is just this

#!/bin/bash
# Make script executable with: chmod a+x

if [ -d '/volume1/media/_mounts/gSuiteEnc/testdir' ]
then
	echo "Rclone Drive Mounted"
else
	echo "Rclone Drive Not Mounted"
	/bin/fusermount -uz /volume1/media/_mounts/gSuiteEnc
	# Remount 
/volume1/homes/nasadmin/bin/rclone mount GDenc: /volume1/media/_mounts/gSuiteEnc \
--allow-other \
--drive-server-side-across-configs \
--vfs-cache-mode writes \
--vfs-cache-max-size 100G \
--vfs-cache-max-age 1h \
--dir-cache-time 1000h \
--cache-dir=/volume1/homes/nasadmin/_caches/rclone/gSuiteEnc \
--log-level INFO \
--log-file /volume1/homes/nasadmin/_logs/rclone/gSuiteEnc/gSuiteEnc.log \
--poll-interval 15s \
--umask 002 \
--user-agent nas-gs2 \
--use-mmap 
--config="/var/services/homes/nasadmin/.config/rclone/rclone.conf"  &

fi

and in task scheduler I have a scheduled task:

[Morphy]

COOL that was a nice thing remount checker
I have a similar version for an Ubuntu server I have. Here its checking if the file is located on the mount, if not, the system assume its disconnected and will remount

rclone-mount-check.sh

By the way - can you use Filemanager to copy files from the mount folder to a local folder in Synology DSM? I get an error every time I try.

Would be awesome to control your copying in DSM instead of SSH.
Will look into your script as well

[blim5001]

tbh I have not tried. (just did try and yes I see an error too)

Not sure why that would be, as I have the drive mounted on my iMac with a similar mount command and can copy files from the mounted drive to my Desktop (or to my nas)

Edit: I looked at my config on the nas, and mine is actually set to read only,
I think I did that to stop the DSM from writing those damm @eaDir folders all over it

Edit 2:
But even if it is read only I should still be able to copy from it.
So I see, I can copy from it using terminal/ssh, but not using the DSM file manager. weird…
I guess it must be a limitation of the DSM file manager. (not something I use much tho)

[Morphy]

Thats for sharing

Well tbh its easier to select what to copy or not from your drive instead of typing in ssh .

What do you use to do your copy?

[Morphy]

Will test this tomorrow , trying to add

–allow-root

EDIT: Didnt work - just read some dude posting same issue in rclone forum, but didnt work at all.

[blim5001]

hmm, there’s another thread here:

Unable to copy/move files

but that’ll cost 3.99 US Bucks to find out if it works

@Morphy

What do you use to do your copy?

I just mount my Drive on my Mac and copy using the Mac’s finder to either My Mac or to My Nas

EDIT:

Another thing I just tried was I connected to my mounted drive on the nas over the network in the Mac finder and successfully copied a file from my mounted gDrive to my home directory on the nas (But I am not sure if that pulled it down to my iMac first)
