## rclone mount
Mount the remote as a mountpoint. **EXPERIMENTAL**
### Synopsis
rclone mount allows Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows 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
Or on Windows like this where X: is an unused drive letter
rclone mount remote:path/to/files X:
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, OS X and Windows 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]
```
### Options
```

--fuse-flag stringArray Flags or arguments to be passed direct to libfuse/WinFsp. Repeat if required.
--gid uint32 Override the gid field set by the filesystem. (default 502)
--max-read-ahead int The number of bytes that can be prefetched for sequential reads. (default 128k)
--no-checksum Don't compare checksums on up/download.
