Requesting help to troubleshoot where my install is going wrong. No automatic fuse mounts

[MountainX]

After installing, rclone can list all the files at my remote server. But I am not getting the fuse mounts at any of the locations listed in the readme. I have run into a few issues during the install, so I will list my complete steps:

When I install the normal way using Magisk, I do not get the rclone binary. I opened this other issue:

rclone is zero bytes · Issue #106 · Magisk-Modules-Repo/com.piyushgarg.rclone

RESULT: rclone download fails with error:

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

My work-around is to download it from my computer and transfer it to my phone. This gets me past that issue and I can continue with the install and setup.

$ curl https://beta.rclone.org/version.txt
rclone v1.57.0-beta.5711.1e7db7193

After downloaded:

$ sftp -i ~/.ssh/mykey shell@192.168.1.1
sftp> put rclone_2021-10-12

Next, SSH into my phone as root:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

rclone ls pcloud:

Correctly lists all files. However, there is no mountpoint:

Check all possible mount points listed in the READE.me:

ls -la /sdcard/cloud/
ls -la /storage/cloud/
ls -la /mnt/cloud/

All give error: No such file or directory

Make the required mountpoint and set permissions:

mkdir -p /mnt/cloud/pcloud
chmod 775 -R /mnt/cloud/
chgrp -R sdcard_rw /mnt/cloud/

ls -la /mnt/cloud/
total 0
drwxrwxr-x  3 root sdcard_rw  60 2021-10-12 13:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root system    280 2021-10-12 13:09 ..
drwxrwxr-x  2 root sdcard_rw  40 2021-10-12 13:09 pcloud

Do a manual mount:

rclone mount pcloud: /mnt/cloud/pcloud
2021/10/12 17:14:26 NOTICE: pcloud root '': --vfs-cache-mode writes or full is recommended for this remote as it can't stream

I am now able to access files from the remote server at /mnt/cloud/pcloud

However, the command above (rclone mount pcloud: /mnt/cloud/pcloud) does not return to the prompt, and mounting this way is not the correct solution, right?

Next, reboot phone and check again:

rclone ls pcloud:

(correctly lists all files)

ls -la /sdcard/cloud/
ls -la /storage/cloud/
ls -la /mnt/cloud/

For all: No such file or directory (again)

The fuse mounts are not being created. Any idea why?

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

From what I understand, the mounts should be done automatically. Is that correct? Or I am missing some steps?

Is this the better approach?

Same issue, been through the troubleshooting and seems as if rclone (or dependent) is not mounting the cloud directory link at boot. There are others here far better skilled to work this out and the reason I started using the module was to avoid having to use termux to get this facility with my cloud drives

I have had this excellent module running till about 4 days ago, now no mountpoints.

I don't know whether it is relevant but i did dabble with RCX recently, wonder whether it replaced fusermount or component that may have interfered. Also noted on the rclone site that mounting on the mac binary is not supported anymore:-

"NOTE: This version of rclone will not support mount any more (see #5373). - " Doesn't make much sense for this utility!

[MountainX]

Imo rcx haven't caused it, RCx has nothing to do with mounting things. Maybe the rclone/fusermount binary need to be updated?

No, the rclone and fusermount binaries are working just fine. I have rclone mounts working with a Termux script. But the Magisk module is broken.

I installed latest stable rclone + libfuse2 from termux package but even if rclone isn't showing any error the mountpoint is empty. Seems like many people are having issie with this old module, can we continue this discussion in a telegram group?

Hey sure. I have created a telegram group for the exact same purpose. Please join here (@rihaq @MountainX @dezza1958): https://t.me/rclonemounterror

And I have mentioned the purpose of the group here: https://forum.rclone.org/t/no-mount-points-with-rclone-mount-magisk-module-on-android/26924/6?u=svdeepak99
