XO(A) + rclone

XaaT

Hi' there,

rclone is a tool to synchronize (or mount) your datas to common drive hosters (like S3, Gdrive, and many others) : https://rclone.org/
Is support mounting and crypting data.
I'm currently testing it.

I mount a gdrive on /backups/ and tried to backup some vms. It fails because i had to use some cache on local XO and if the VM is too big it fails. So it fails a lot.
I've to read and learn more from rclone but it seems be a nice solution in addition with XO (you've to mount a local remote)

Problem is here : https://forum.rclone.org/t/xen-orchestra-ebadf-bad-file-descriptor-write/13104

And from rclone doc :

Limitations
Without the use of “--vfs-cache-mode” this can only write files sequentially, it can only seek when reading. This means that many applications won’t work with their files on an rclone mount without “--vfs-cache-mode writes” or “--vfs-cache-mode full”. See the File Caching section for more info

Well, okay, it looks a little wobbly, but anyway.

Who else using this ? Who want to test it ?

Did you get this working? I am interested in your setup!

I'm also interested, looks like they pushed a fix for your issue. How has it been?

FYI, S3 remote is coming natively in XO for the next release.

Woooah, amazing news

In beta, but still Native support (not via a pseudo FS mount)
